I've heard that properly configuring a firewall can be tricky. In any
case, using a firewall still doesn't protect from Java applets reading
identifying information locally and sending it back through the
anonymous connection.
Actually, I believe that with the browser denied access to the
internet, the normal 2-way java applet communication is prevented.
Please try the test I mentioned.
In the tests that I have done previously, the Java VM inherits the proxy
settings listed in the browser (at least this is what is supposed to
happen; sometimes this does not happen). So if the browser is
configured to use Privoxy and these setting are communicated correctly
to the Java VM, what is there to stop a Java applet from sending back
data through Privoxy?
