How to secure Firefox traffic (+DNS) through SOCKS proxy under Ubuntu 10.04?
- by Maarx
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, and starting a SOCKS proxy with 'ssh -D', and setting Ubuntu to use it with "System - Preferences - Network Proxy". Firefox uses the proxy, and the proxy's IP appears when I visit a site like http://www.whatismyip.com/.
My question is, is Firefox resolving DNS requests through this proxy? Is my web-browsing truly secure?…
