I visited the following site which offers a graphical internet speed test:
http://promos.mcafee.com/speedometer/
This site would not work without setting Proxomitron to bypass mode. I added the site to my bypass list and all seemed well.
However I noticed that Tiny Personal Firewall showed that Proxomitron still had multiple connections to this site over an hour after my web browser closed. In order to stop these connection, I had to exit and restart proxomitron.
Is this an artifact of the bypass list, or is something more sinister going on?
Thanks.
