thanks.
I wonder if the document is the place to put up a caution (at least a simple one) that if you use a proxy, but are running JAVA & scripts, the ip address is visible? To fix this, Java must be turned off.

Since Java/java script is almost always defaulted to "on" in browsers, a newcomer to proxies may think going through a proxy keeps anonymity, when Java is broadcasting it for the whole world to see.

Just another reason to always test the proxy you have put in your browser against a proxyjudge before actually using it to surf. - Lorissa
