Solve : configuring a proxy threw java console?

Answer»

hello , i was RECENTLY made aware that even with a proxy server my i.p could stil LBE discovered in java based applications , ive used java.exe itself to configure a proxy but it still shows the information , i was reading and .. apparently i need to "keep the browser from accessing the network and allow only my i.p threw the firewall" how would i go about doing this? also if i were to use socks instead of http would this solve my problem?

thanksCan't really help you because this doesn't make any sense to me.

"keep the browser from accessing the network and allow only my i.p threw the firewall"
For the outbound traffic you will at the very least need to allow the IP address of the proxy you're using. But generally you would configure the firewall to allow all outbound traffic to the ports associated with HTTP traffic. (80, 443, ETC).
Inbound you could restrict the firewall to only allow traffic addressed to your IP. But this is KINDA pointless since you shouldn't be receiving traffic for other IPs than your own.
But none of this should really have much influence on your net anonymity which is why I started out by saying this doesn't make sense to me.
(I'm not even going to take a guess at the logic behind "keep the browser from accessing the network".)

But what is with the discovery paranoia anyway? Are you doing something you shouldn't be doing or are you just wearing a hat made of tinfoil?
Even with a proxy your IP might still being "discovered".
If you're using open proxies you have no idea who is running them and what they might be logging.
