I'm using MAMP PRO for local development only.<br />
<br />
However, what happens when my local website has scripts such as google analytics that try to reach the internet?<br />
<br />
Will google then have access to my server; what address will they see it coming from?<br />
<br />
Is this a potential security issue? Should I make sure to remove such scripts?
