Not very sure if this is by design/expected, but capturing packets from a freshly booted iPad seems to indicate that the browser leaks DNS queries and HTTP GET requests when visiting YouTube through this browser. I am transmitting outside the tunnel

1) DNS query to YouTube cache server 2) GET request to Google's servers for /videoplayback

This seems isolated to the QuickTime player only. No other DNS queries or traffic appears to be visible. I suggest you warn users that video playback does not go through the tunnel.

Ah crap, hadn’t tested video player too. Will note that, thanks.
