When you're testing, you don't reveal anything that matters.

OK, I have a basic set of iptables rules for Debian that block
everything except Tor. But they are undoubtedly not elegant, because
my iptables skills are iffy :( I also have instructions for leak testing.

However, the whole thing is far too long and involved to post on the
list. So, please see

Yes, it should, but I'm not set up to test that.
