returning to the topic "how to prevent my browser fetching css and other stuff when displaying freesites coming through fproxy and thus revealing my ip"
you need a packet firewall that is able to block certain applications (e.g. by determining the app's MD5 or anything similar) for windows i recommend: - Tiny Personal Firewall (version 2.x, NOT version 3.x) (get it under http://tiny.software.com/ or so) or - Kerio Personal Firewall (is the successor of the Tiny PF, get it under http://www.kerio.com/) i DO NOT recommend zonealarm, because it simply sucks setting up filter rules ;) so, first you need a firewall rule which allows connections to localhost, from any port to any port. you should find the needed settings below, allow this rule by default, because it does no harm and is needed later: [X] "allow loopback" ALLOW TCP/UDP (any port) <-> 127.0.0.1:(any port) (any application) then, create a filter which is disabled by default and will prevent the browser you use to connect to other computers if enabled: [ ] "freenet safe" DENY TCP (any port) <-> (any ip):(any port) (<your favourite browser app here>) as you can see, this rule will deny ALL (TCP)connections to other computers (AND localhost) your browser will try to establish when enabled. alas, the last step is to ensure, that the "allow loopback" filter is processed before the "freenet safe" filter, so that you can always connect with any app to localhost (and thus to fproxy), but your browser is stopped if it decides to connect to somewhere else. graphics within freesites or any "freelinks" will run over smoothly fproxy, which will deliver these to your browser. panam ____________________________________________________________ The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
