you're doing something wrong if you're vulnerable to this. http://ipflood.paulds.fr/ says: > when sending a request to a server you will provide several information about your IP address : three of them come from the Application Layer and the last one comes from the Transport Layer. This last one I can't modify : you wouldn't get the answer to your request if that was done. But the three others can be overwritten without any consequence to your browsing...
