Some requests don't go through a proxy #39

Closed Glide01 closed 3 years ago

Glide01 commented 3 years ago

I have a Tor container and have set up a Tor network for that container, but not all requests are going through the Tor network Example: I go to https://program-think.blogspot.com and there is a request for www.blogger.com that is sent directly from Firefox and does not go through the Tor network

But if I also set the Tor network for the Default container, there is no such problem.

So, what I've seen before, it could be some add-on that for example parses the page and sends the request by itself. Almost each add-on have background script which runs in the default container (AFAIK it cannot be changed) and if this script issues a request it will be sent from the default container. I've seen this issue already (see issue #23) with uBlock, sometimes requests leak, but I've never seen this issue with a clean FireFox installation without any add-ons except Container Proxy.

Saddly, this issue is not possible to fix in scope of Container Proxy.

Will close the issue for now. If you have more information, please reopen.
