HTTP proxies DNS requests as well, since the DNS lookup of the remote site is done by the proxy server so it can fetch the page. Is socks behavior different somehow?

Where can I find that rule? I honestly didn't see it & don't know where that rule is (like I said, new here), and wouldn't have replied if it was actually clear. I know these things are obvious to long time members, so I'm sorry if I wasted your time.

Sorry for inciting moderation/banning. I didn't realize my username should be different than my website, and I was just trying to help the OP. Won't happen again.

Which kind of proxy do you prefer to use, HTTP or SOCKS, and why (anonymity, privacy, etc)? Personally, I prefer HTTP proxies because configuration is simple and they seem ideal for web crawling, but I'm curious about other people's motivations. Thanks!

I thought by default TOR randomly changes the outgoing IP every 5 minutes. Is that not the case anymore?
