DNS leaking in VM
 

Hey all, I'm trying to follow along on an online video using Kali Linux and we are working on setting up proxies. I did as instructed and edited proxychains.conf to enable dynamic chains, commented out strict chains and added a Socks5 proxy.

[ProxyList]
# add proxy here …
# meanwile
# defaults set to "tor"
socks4 127.0.0.1 9050
socks5 127.0.0.1 9050

I'll then and open up the web browser to check for DNS leaks via duckduckgo and it's showing my location and ISP servers.

I presume you've read Kali_Linux_Caveats

I wouldn't expect Kali to behave predictably in a VM and certainly not as a 'white hat' tool, which is it's purpose. There's too many software layers. Install it on a partition and dual boot.

one way to stop DNS leeks is to set up and run "TOR" on the host

then set the VM to only see the tor port

that way EVERYTHING in the VM is ran through tor, including dns
