Now that one can use Tor directly with remote DNS resolution through network.proxy.socks_remote_dns = true, do we still need to use a HTTP proxy?...
bump!
I think there is some confusion here. If you are using Tor (with no HTTP proxy) then network.proxy.socks_remote_dns must be "true". If it is...
This is your previous post regarding about:config. I assume when you say that the ISP will log your DNS usage you mean if a user is using...
I want to clarify the situation with Tor and DNS requests. My current set-up is that Firefox is set to transport all HTTP and HTTPS traffic...
Thanks - I will test your about:config suggestion. Yes, but if I am using Tor, all they see is I have connected to the first Tor node.
I use the secure delete suite (including srm and sfill) which overwrites files and free space multiple times. I know there is also shred and...
I am on an academic network. I have a direct IP and as far as I can tell there is no NAT. An Ethernet connection. Therefore I do not control...

I have read this link and am not sure it answers my question mostly because I phrased my question badly. The issue is not can JS get the IP...
The Tor bundle used to be Tor and Privoxy. Now it is Tor plus Polipo. AIUI both Privoxy and Polipo are HTTP proxies which do two things. They...
The reason I did these tests was to encourage this very question: can JS alone get the IP. My impression is "no" but other posters say in...
I am surprised this is not of interest considering previous debates. Oh well...
You are correct. The issue is not the time on my computer. The issue is the time zone. When I set it to an American time zone then Google...
This is a privacy problem because it relates to the information Gmail is able to acquire when a user is behind a Tor Proxy. Here is the...
I have been reading many posts on this forum about whether JavaScript, Java, and Flash can expose one's real IP address behind a proxy. I...
A website I frequently log into using Tor and Polipo logs me out whenever Tor's IP changes. This is not a problem because I can just use...
