Steps to reproduce this bug:

  1. Record DNS requests
  2. Open some websites in TBA

I opened a few websites in TBA and recorded the DNS replies using tcpdump. I opened ebay.com, craigslist.org, netflix.com, bing.com, twitter.com, pinterest.com, torproject.org, 3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion (duckduckgo onion address)

Here are the logs
q: A? ir.ebaystatic.com. 1/0/0 ir.ebaystatic.com. [5m] A 92.123.82.129 (51)
q: A? copenhagen.craigslist.dk. 1/0/0 copenhagen.craigslist.dk. [1h] A 208.82.237.2 (58)
q: A? assets.nflxext.com. 1/0/0 assets.nflxext.com. [5m] A 2.18.232.136 (52)
q: A? www.bing.com. 1/0/0 www.bing.com. [5m] A 13.107.21.200 (46)
q: A? abs.twimg.com. 1/0/0 abs.twimg.com. [5m] A 104.244.46.199 (47)
q: A? s.pinimg.com. 1/0/0 s.pinimg.com. [5m] A 23.35.115.223 (46)
q: A? www.torproject.org. 1/0/0 www.torproject.org. [5m] A 138.201.14.197 (52)
q: A? 3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion. 1/0/0 3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion. [1m] A 10.255.165.235 (56)

These replies only appear if DNS is leaking.

Thanks for reporting this! How did you install TBA? Was this in an Android emulator? What Android version did you use? Can you provide more detail about how you tested this?

Thanks!

No need to reopen #21863 here. Alas, Trac does not allow to block already closed bugs (as bugzilla for instance is doing). So, we take it from there and used #21863 just for the pre-alpha bugs and go with new bugs as they come.

i tested this bug on android no leaks for me.
steps-

  1. install adway(root) click log dns and click tcpdump
  2. start orbot
  3. tested with tor alpha and orfox
  4. no leaks via proxy
  5. as expected normal browsing without tor showing dns request in the logs.

I think this got fixed in a recent alpha. Please reopen with steps to reproduce if anyone is still seeing issues.
