Hi,
I'm trying to port go-libp2p https://libp2p.io/ on tor. The problem is with the dnslink features. Basically libp2p addresses are not always friendly to use so libp2p allows to store them in dns TXT records.
But when I try to resolve a TXT record over Tor this errors :
tor --DNSPort 127.53.53.53 & host -v -t any jorropo.net Trying "jorropo.net" ;; Connection to 127.53.53.53#53(127.53.53.53) for jorropo.net failed: connection refused. # I'm pretty confident the dns option of Tor is working because I can resolve A records.
Is this expected or I am doing something wrong?

Have a look at the documentation of DNSPort: https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en#DNSPort
Tor's DNSPort is rather limited, if you need more I recommend to use an encrypted DNS protocol like DNS-over-TLS or DNS-over-HTTPS and route that over Tor, but be aware that your DNS resolution requests are linkable if you do not establish a new stream and connection for each resolution attempt.
