Google Accelerator has no anonymizing properties
Yesterday we had a post about the relative merits of Google's Web Accelerator as an anonymizing proxy. Turns out that while it's still good as a proxy-buster, it provides zero anonymity benefits.
Nik sez, "Google still passes on the client's IP address to the server via the X-HTTP-FORWARDED-FOR header which the server can easily see." Link (Thanks, Nik!)
