Comment:

 Here's a patch that sets a blackhole proxy without any DNS leaks. It's two
 commits. The first just upgrades to [https://gitweb.torproject.org
 /pluggable-transports/meek.git/shortlog/refs/tags/0.10 meek 0.10], which
 has [https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-
 transports/meek.git/commitdiff/32ca07ca008f5d09492f4d2782130bd54c52acf5 a
 patch] to set network.proxy.socks_remote_dns=false within the meek-http-
 helper extension itself, so the pref can remain true in user.js. The
 second commit just sets a blackholed socks proxy as the only proxy, and
 sets network.proxy.socks_remote_dns=true in user.js.
