Does proxy hide DNS?

[Xeon]

I bought a US proxy and configured it on Android. When I go to whoer.net, it says the IP is USA which is correct, but the DNS still shows my country DNS. Is this normal?

Yes it is normal that no proxy does not hide dns.

Search Google for "does proxy hide dns" to get an idea how the two work.

You can change your dns server looking like you are hiding your dns server.

No it's not .

A good proxy must pass dns leak test.
Ofc, it's a client homework to stop doing local dns resolving, and pass *hostnames* to the proxy, not the *IP'*.

You are right. I tried saying this with a double negative in my sentence but did not pull it off.

How do I do this? What terms do I search for on google/youtube for the tutorials

Yes it should pass the DNS leak test.

Socks5 local dns resolving
Socks5 remote dns resolving

E.g. curl (8) :

--socks5-hostname <host[ort]>
Use the specified SOCKS5 proxy (and let the proxy resolve the host name). If the port number is not specified, it is assumed at port 1080.

--socks5 <host[ort]>
Use the specified SOCKS5 proxy - but resolve the host name locally. If the port number is not specified, it is assumed at port 1080.

Yes, it should, also you can try to avoid DNS leaks on your pc and then everything should work

if your proxys are showing your DNS its a leak, you will need better proxys .

 

[Spluseo]

yes, proxy hide DNS. if not then it's not good proxy.

 

[SenjorDeckard]

Yes, Socks5 should hide

It seems like you have configured the HTTP protocol. When you do that, your real IP can leak. So, I would suggest you to configure the HTTPS protocol of the same proxy. I hope your issue is resolved with this.
