Shadowsocks disable logging and change dns server (stop dns leak)

How can I turn off logging for Shadowsocks? And there's a DNS leak. How do I change the DNS server? I could not find any resources on the internet. Thank you.

You have to specify "Remote DNS" in Firefox. Do Options/Preferences > Advanced > Network > Settings. Under Manual proxy configuration, check Remote DNS.
To suppress logging, I believe there are quiet mode flags (-q or -qq) you can specify on the command line when you invoke SS.
For SS:
Use nohup and redirect the output to /dev/null.
Here search for "To adjust the logging level". Seems it can be set to log only errors.
In my case CentOS + SS installed as a service, there is no /var/log/shadowsocks.log
Unsure if can help to empty the log file and add immutable bit to the file: chattr +i /var/log/shadowsocks.log
I closed the log. Thank you guys.
But I have not found any more DNS changes.
Just redirect log file to /dev/null by add config entry
"log-file": "/dev/null"
or using command line option--log-file /dev/null
if you are using python version For other version like libev or go, there are corresponding option to achieve this.
