Good day!
I'm developing a proxy leak detection tool, and thought it would be a fun challenge to use it to investigate #22. And happily it looks like I was successful. This PR makes
wrap_module
patchsocket.getaddrinfo
(preventing DNS leaks from that function), and updates the monkeypatching documentation accordingly.I opted to use the workaround at #22 (comment) rather than the workaround at #22 (comment) , because the latter only works with SOCKS proxies that support Tor's nonstandard protocol extensions. The latter is definitely preferable if the user is certain that their proxy supports Tor's extensions; a future PR could give the user an option to choose which is used.
It's entirely possible that I've subtly broken something, as I'm not intimately familiar with the Python socket codebase, but it seems to work acceptably in my testing.
Cheers!
