If you don't enable hide-forwarded-for-headers you are sending your client's IP address to the web server. If you aren't using NAT, this will obviously affect your anonymity. This is probably the biggest issue, but of course most of Privoxy's features are intended to make user tracking harder; if you disable them you will be worse off then before, unless you find browser plugins which do the same. If you haven't already, you also might want to read Privoxy FAQ "4.8. Can Privoxy guarantee I am anonymous?": http://www.privoxy.org/faq/misc.html#AEN772 Fabian -- http://www.fabiankeil.de/
