Do web proxies really provide anonymity?
I mean, without someone asking for logs in a web proxy server for who/when connected, is it impossible to know who was behind that IP address?
I'm asking this because I heard somewhere that some technologies (like "flash") bypass personal IP information for requests or something like that.
(I'm a noob in server configuration and concepts like DNS and proxies. Thanks!)
