ABE WAN IP and JonDonym

Post by Dreamwarrior »

Hi!

I just realized an interesting behavior of the WAN IP adress when using the anonymous proxy server JonDonym (http://anonymous-proxy-servers.net/). In the NoScript ABE settings there is not my local IP shown but the exit IP to internet of the proxy cascade of JonDonym. I guess this is not intended.

It is expected if JonDonym (as I guess) is a transparent proxy (i.e. Firefox is not aware of it).
"Normal" HTTP and SOCKS proxies configured in the browser and external to the browser should automatically disable this feature.
However there's no problem in this setup, unless your proxy wants to attack you (in which case you've got much more serious problems, because a DNS rebinding would be the less likely of the many obvious attacks available).
