Yes.  the remote end will be able to correlate the anonymized TCP
traffic with the non anonymized ICMP traffic.  What does this by the
way?

The only way I can think to deal with this is to block outgoing ICMP
(to a given host atleast), but I suspect that would break your
application.

I assumed as much <sigh>, the program I'm testing is "Angry-IP-Scanner" to scan my local (home) network.

I tried blocking egress ICMP but as you thougth it broke my application.

Thank you very much,
