[QUOTE="poirotz, post: 854788, member: 76297"] Thanks HarborFront,that is what i surmised and i am glad you confirmed. I'd like to discuss with you another instance,though: You go online with a Windows OS running a VPN- with a Linux Mint VB ,networking=nat , Firefox browser with geo location enabled. The VPN has anti-tracking and switchkill facilities and runs in the host OS. Suddenly the provider connection or the VPN connection dies= FF Browser in Mint stops working and hangs. To avoid trouble one should stop it, and when VPN reconnects and FF browser is again evoked, it starts again exactly from where it left, having 'remembered' previous data. My question is: in such a case can the original location of the browser and/or the host run any risk of disclosure? I guess that if you modify the geo.location of the browser you are definetely safe even in such instance, although perhaps you wont be able to access a lot of websites. Am i right? [/QUOTE]
