Thank you for a great program!
I've been trying to use Tor, Privoxy and Opera separately but I always had problems running them, frequent crashes, configuration problems, etc. OperaTor runs great each and every time.
Which brings me to my general question: After starting Operator I often go to various IP finder sites and browser security sites and they all show the Tor exit node instead of my real IP, as expected. I've turned off all Java, plug-ins, Javascript, cookies and referrers from the bottom button bar.
Which of these functions will allow a website to see the real IP even though OperaTor is used? I know Java can show the real IP, but is it possible to get the IP by allowing Javascript too? How about cookies? If I allow cookies and sign in a web forum for example, can the website get a real IP only by using cookies and maybe cookies and Javascript together? I don't thing IP info is included in referrers.
Thank you very much for your efforts and your generous offer.
