on 3G, you are on whispernet, and directed through amazon's server(that compress text/images to reduce cost)

not sure whether this is still the case in wifi mode
EDIT: Tried it on my sister's kindle 3

on 3g only, whatismyip.com says kindle proxy
on wifi, whatismyip.com says my router's ip address

i guess you can only bypass the firewall on 3g, as what duckeedoug says
