DNS queries for ALL blocked programs leak when DNS is proxied over loopback

Open SSJPKXL opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

SimpleWall gives priority to "Allow Loopback for All" over all other rules. If Windows is set to proxy all DNS queries via loopback address, then SimpleWall cannot block DNS queries for any program. In such a case, all blocked programs leak DNS queries. This only happens if programs use DNS proxy, such as DNSCrypt-Proxy. The only way around this is to disallow loopback for all and create loopback rules for every program individually and too many programs use loopback.
