Here (http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/tor.html) you suggest that when using Polipo with Tor: Polipo is configured by setting a number of configuration variables in Polipo's configuration file, which is either ~/.polipo or /etc/polipo/config, whichever exists. In order to tell Polipo to use tor and not to cache any fetched pages on disk, you will want to add the following lines to your configuration file: socksParentProxy = localhost:9050 diskCacheRoot="" The Tor people use this file (https://svn.torproject.org/svn/torbrowser/trunk/build-scripts/config/polipo.conf) to replace the standard Polipo configuration file which says: socksParentProxy = "localhost:9050" socksProxyType = socks5 So I think my question is valid. If both your file and the Tor file says "localhost" and not 127.0.0.1 does that mean there is DNS leakage if using ANY of the Polipo seetings for dnsUseGethostbyname ("yes" which is the same as "true", "reluctantly", "happily" or "no" which is the same as "false")? Thanks again - I do not want to get obsessive but it would be nice to know the answer! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Polipo-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/polipo-users
