[tor-talk] HTML5 video and Tor anonymity.

[David Vorick]

I don't know what I'm talking about, but here goes:

If you were to put flash in a "sandbox" that had a fake IP address, might
that make the sandbox incompatible with the tor network? When you are
communicating, even over the tor network, your IP address is critical so
that servers on the other end know where to send messages. That means that
at the very least you have to know your own IP address. If the flash
sandbox had a false address, the network might reject communication
altogether, or it might simply be unable to return the messages to the
right spot.

Am I incorrect?
