DNS through socks proxy. How do I change windows settings for domain resolution.

Question

I am looking for a program to reroute windows domain resolution lookup through a socks proxy capable with many internet browsers and internet proxies.

So far in Control Panel, Local Area Connection 1, TCP/IP Properties, I use the following DNS server addresses, preferred DNS Server, I put 127.0.0.1 and use the default in-built port request 53.

I am reading that it is possible to forward this. I can not find a program to forward it through socks 4/5. I think this is possible because Socks supports UDP.

Has anyone come up with the answer to a solution about a UDP-to-socks forwarding program capable and adapted for socks and windows DNS.

Answer 1

It's really quite easy to configure.

You could write your own server and set the server to listen to incoming calls to port 53 or use this program

here my sample configuration for a socks server running on 1050 and TCP / IP settings on 127.0.0.1

DNS2SOCKS.exe /la:socks.log 127.0.0.1:1050 8.8.8.8:53 127.0.0.1:53
