<strong>WebRTC is a new communication protocol that relies on JavaScript that can leak your actual IP address from behind your VPN.</strong>

|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>While software like NoScript prevents this, it's probably a good idea to block this protocol directly as well, just to be safe.</p>

<h3>How to disable WebRTC in Firefox?</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In short: Set "media.peerconnection.enabled" to "false" in "about:config".</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Explained:</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ol class="long-string-list">
|
||
|
|
<li>Enter "about:config" in the firefox address bar and press enter.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Press the button "I'll be careful, I promise!"</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Search for "media.peerconnection.enabled"</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Double click the entry, the column "Value" should now be "false"</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Done. Do the WebRTC leak test again.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If you want to make sure every single WebRTC related setting is really disabled change these settings:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ol class="long-string-list">
|
||
|
|
<li>media.peerconnection.turn.disable = true</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>media.peerconnection.use_document_iceservers = false</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>media.peerconnection.video.enabled = false</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>media.peerconnection.identity.timeout = 1</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Now you can be 100% sure WebRTC is disabled.</p>

<h3>How to fix the WebRTC Leak in Google Chrome?</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>WebRTC cannot be fully disabled in Chrome, however it is possible to change its routing settings (and prevent leaks) using an extension. Two open source solutions include <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webrtc-leak-prevent/eiadekoaikejlgdbkbdfeijglgfdalml">WebRTC Leak Prevent</a> (options may need to be changed depending on the scenario), and <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm">uBlock Origin</a> (select "Prevent WebRTC from leaking local IP addresses" in Settings).</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>What about other browsers?</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Chrome on iOS, Internet Explorer and Safari does not implement WebRTC yet. <a href="#browser"><i class="fas fa-link"></i> But we recommend using Firefox on all devices.</a></p>
