But much to my surprise, allmost each pdf opened within firefox result in two external name lookups: one for an internal adobe-site and another for a site related to the content or author of the related pdf.
I took the precaution to disable recursion, but the verya latest reader from acrobat is still spying on you!!!
That does not follow. A DNS lookup isn't directly visible to the owner of the URL. It also doesn't contain any data from your system
Did you verify with wireshark what happened other than the dns lookups?

Not yet, will inverstigate it more next week. No information got leaked out, As the dns-lookup failed, the tcp-connection could not be establised. But it remains strange that for normal http,ftp traffic everything goes straight to the proxy, but when an pdf is opened with acrobat out-bound ip connection were tried to initiated. Perhaps i should also try another pdf-viewer.... hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
