Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ProxymanApp/Proxyman/issues/1666

In some software, there's a distinction between socks5 and socks5h. In my case, I suspect the DNS queries are being executed from my local machine and not from the socks server itself.

Would be great to get a clarification.

Thanks!

Yes, it's. The DNS is handled on your mac. If you'd like to change the DNS, you can do it in System Setting -> Wifi -> Detailed -> DNS.

But in the case of a socks proxy I want to be able to define that DNS resolution should be handled by the proxy server, is that not possible today?
