Tor & Privoxy question

Feb 16, 2008 1 Replies

i was experimenting with Tor/Privoxy by sending myself an email via yahoo mail.



but when i look at the headers of the mail i received, it still shows my 'originating IP' as coming from my internet provider.



however when i go to one of the many websites that shows your IP, it does show a random IP (ie. not my ISP).



does yahoo have some magic trick that defeats Tor/Privoxy?



or what have i configured incorrectly ?


What have you configured correctly, is the correct question.

Your mail client (webmail or otherwise) did not use the Tor proxies to send the e-mail.
