I'm using the Tor+Firofox browser bundle downloaded at <a href="http://torproject.org" target="_blank">torproject.org</a>. I setup a virtual Windows XP machine under my normal OS (using VMWare) and I'm doing all my private browsing under that machine.<br>
<br>
I need to use an rss reader, but can't use a web based one (like google reader) since I have javascript disabled.<br>
<br>
I decided to use an application (like sharpreader) for rss, I configured it to use the Tor proxy and it seems to be using it (since it fails to connect when I stop Tor). But I want to be %100 sure it doesn't make any direct connections.<br>
<br>
Do you have any suggestions to make sure that nothing escapes outside except Tor itself? Is there any way to close all outgoing ports except for Tor under Windows XP Pro?<br>
<br>

There has been some discussion on the list about how to do that with linux guests/hosts, but I'm sure you could extrapolate from that. On the plus side, if you prevent any non-tor access the the internet from the guest machine, you may be more secure enabling javascript and browser plugins, and using an online RSS reader.</div>
