Hmm. I know GRC has that "leak test" program, though it's for Win32
AFAIK and I don't know how applicable it is. You could use logs and an
IDS such as Snort to monitor on localhost and within the LAN if you do
it right. I don't know of an out-of-the-box easy solution for all
platforms though. Maybe Roger or Arrakis have an idea?
