In the TBB design document [https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/], the project makes the following statements: 'Plugins have the ability to make arbitrary OS system calls and bypass proxy settings. This includes the ability to make UDP sockets and send arbitrary data independent of the browser proxy settings.' [...] 'Currently, we entirely disable all plugins in Tor Browser. However, as a compromise due to the popularity of Flash, we allow users to re-enable Flash, and flash objects are blocked behind a click-to-play barrier that is available only after the user has specifically enabled plugins.' So on this basis I think the answer to your question is 'yes, Flash will go through Tor, unless anybody tries anything with you'. You will be secure absent an attacker, as they say. > > On Sat, Aug 17, 2013 at 5:58 PM, harmony <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Nathan Suchy: >>> I'm investigating a internet chat room and need to use Tor for anonymity >> of >>> my ip address.
