 Replying to [comment:3 gk]:

 Why not adding it for FTP as well if you are seeing DNS requests while you
 are at it?

 I tried setting an ftp proxy, but the DNS still leaked. I don't know how
 an FTP proxy works, but maybe it doesn't use host names and so the client
 is obliged to resolve the name itself.

 I think my idea in comment:2 might work better and would require
 blackholing the socks proxy only (but I haven't tried it yet). You can
 hold off on this ticket, if you like, while I try it.
