Its a nice setup, but you can’t see any DNS data in the TOR middle relay traffic. Middle relays just pass on encrypted data to the next tor node, not “the Internet”. So any DNS requests hitting outside from your 8 IPs are still all attributable to you.



For any activity in which I do not feel safe and threatened for my Identity, I utilize the middle relay as a full on end-to-end Wireguard VPN itself to route all traffic through a VM I've got specifically built for this.

In addition, there is also this for those that do not want to go through the hassle: https://blog.cloudflare.com/welcome-hidden-resolver/

Cloudflare runs their own DNS Tor resolver.
