I'm trying to set up Bitcoin (standard client) with Tor. I know alot of people do it so I figured it would be easy, but something doesn't seem right. I've it it to use 127.0.0.1:9050, but it still has connections when Tor isn't running. Not very many connections, but surely there shouldn't be any. What's going on?
Be very wary of relying on JavaScript for security on crypto sites. The site can change the JavaScript at any time unless you take unusual precautions, and browsers are not generally known for their airtight security.

This question will be answered more quickly on a tor support forums.

I don't think so, this really doesn't have anything to do with Tor itself, since it isn't running. Let me put it another way. I configure the Bitcoin client to use a proxy that does not exist, yet it still reports connections. How is this possible?
