To add to this, in Firefox if you use this: http://i.imgur.com/ajT98xC.png http://i.imgur.com/ajT98xC.png , Flash does not obey it. I kinda think Mozilla should put some kind of warning-text on this dialog window to warn uses that it doesn't apply to flash, silverlight or any plugins. This surprised me at first but it makes sense if you think about it. You really have to do a system-wide VPN type thing. Something like this: https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle will actually tunnel everything on your PC.
- alex_duf 12y agoCareful, sshuttle doesn't route UDP, and by default does not route DNS requests either. For Firefox, I don't think they should bother anyway, the world is killing flash, if you want to be anonymous on the internet use noscript and don't install flash in the first place.
- smtddr 12y agoOh wow! Thanks for this heads up!
- wazoox 12y agoWait a minute, how does flash reach the web if your access is only through a proxy, then?
- smtddr 12y agohttps://forums.adobe.com/message/4262734 https://forums.adobe.com/message/4262734 Hmmmmmm..... So from what I gather here, if the ActionScript is using the regular getURL[1] that call is passed to the browser and will be proxied. But if flash tries to open up a raw socket[2] on its own, it won't know about the proxy and will just fail(or reveal your true IP) 1. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=00000564.html http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?cont... 2. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/Socket.html http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionsc...
