Simply put; Is it possible to obtain the real (actual) IP address of
someone (client) that visits a web site through an anonymous proxy if
this person ONLY has JavaScript enabled in their browser?


First I tried without using the Tor/Privoxy combo.

java turned off
javascript turned off

http://www.stilllistener.com/checkpoint1/java - does not see my ip
http://whatismyip.com - sees my ip


java turned off
javascript turned on

http://www.stilllistener.com/checkpoint1/java - does not see my ip, but
sees lots of other interesting stuff about my pc

http://whatismyip.com - sees my ip



java turned on

Then I tried it with Tor/Privoxy running

java turned off
javascript turned off

http://www.stilllistener.com/checkpoint1/java - does not see my ip
http://whatismyip.com - does not see my ip
