unavoidable and are not bugs.
I read the above thread, and I think that these leaks are bugs

I specified the "connect server" in the advanced section of the XMPP
account, so the `_xmppconnect` requests seems useless to me. During normal
connection (not a reconnection after network loss) pidgin connects to the
account without making any DNS request outside the SOCKS5 proxy.
> I think that at some point in the call graph, pidgin thinks that it
needs to make a DNS query for an STUN server.
A also have a global STUN server set to "localhost" in the global
preferences, as well as a "pile transfer proxies" set to "localhost" in
the XMPP account preferences.
Did I miss something?
