+# Run
+If you configured a system-wide SOCKS proxy, Dino will honor that setting.
+
+Otherwise, you can specifically set Dino to use Tor by starting it with
+```
+$ torsocks dino
+```
+
+# DNS
+
+You can have your system route DNS requests through Tor by writing `nameserver 127.0.0.1` into your `/etc/resolv.conf`.
+
+XMPP uses `SRV` records by default, which cannot be queried through Tor. As a fallback, XMPP uses `A` records, which **can** be queried through Tor. Thus, make sure the domain of your server has an `A` record set to the IP of the XMPP server. Public servers are very frequently set up accordingly.

+
+## Tails
+* Download and install the Dino Debian package from [OBS](https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=network:messaging:xmpp:dino&package=dino).
+* Start Dino from the console with `torsocks dino`.
+* Don't worry about DNS - Tails forces all traffic through Tor.
