[QUOTE="Vity, post: 218, member: 9"] When an attacker has an IP address, there are many ways to send it over the Internet for monitoring and logging purposes. [IMG alt="WebRTC_leak_test_firefox-1.png"]http://itsecforu.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/WebRTC_leak_test_firefox-1.png[/IMG] So it's clear that even if you use a VPN, Tor, or any other anonymity service, your local IP address can be tracked through the WebRTC leak, and the problem is even worse when using an IPv6-compatible Internet connection, as it is designed to provide a unique public IP for each device. [HEADING=3]How to prevent WebRTC leaks in browsers?[/HEADING] Despite all this, WebRTC also poses a threat to online privacy and security. So, WebRTC is not very good for online privacy, and you should disable it if it is useless. In the Google Chrome or Chromium browser, the local IP address is automatically allocated by default on all desktop OS platforms, Windows, macOS, and Linux. However, in Firefox, the local IP address is provided via WebRTC, but it can be easily fixed using plugins such as uBlock Origin. Some less popular browsers for Linux users, such as Falkon, Midori, etc. use either WebKit or WebEngine as the rendering engine, are vulnerable to WebRTC leaks, and there is no easy way to solve this problem. But the real threat to the Android platform, the Chrome browser for Android and many other popular browsers are affected by the WebRTC leak. Even worse, there is no easy way to install plugins / add-ons on Android to prevent WebRTC leaks. This is when you should be especially careful if you really value your online privacy. You can use the beta version of Firefox on Android to install plugins like uBlock Origin. [HEADING=3]How do I disable WebRTC in Firefox?[/HEADING] 1. Enter in the browser window: about:config 2. Click "Accept Risk and continue" 3. Enter in the search bar: media.peerconnection.enabled [IMG alt="1-25.png"]http://itsecforu.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/1-25.png[/IMG] 4. Double-click on the [B]true[/B] value and it will become [B]false[/B] [/QUOTE]
