All external connections through proxy? No! (PRIVACY)

[russianboss69]

If I expose in the config to use tor (proxy = ...) why not make all external connections through a proxy?

Currently, the wallet is accessing external resources bypassing the proxy server settings. Thus, third-party servers receive information about my IP.

ZEC = Privacy?

I did a search for http://z-board.net/listTopics in this repo and did not find any results. Is the wallet still contacting these external servers and bypassing proxy settings? If so, where can I find the offending code?
