For instance, we shouldn't say that IMAP is equivalent or an explanation to all open-source software used to access email (e.g. there's POP3, open-source clients to access when there isn't IMAP such as Tutanota, etc.). We also shouldn't call IMAP open-source software since it's a protocol. * Change "socially motivated * Apply suggestions from code review Co-Authored-By: Jonah Aragon <jonah@triplebit.net> * Suggestion from code review with extras * 'Kill switch' to 'Killswitch" * Consistency and minor additions to details - More parallel sentence structures, following <Name> <Verb phrase> for the first sentence of cards.

<h1 id="webrtc" class="anchor"><a href="#webrtc"><i class="fas fa-link anchor-icon"></i></a> WebRTC IP Leak Test - Is your IP address leaking?</h1>
|
|
|
|
<div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert">
|
|
<strong>WebRTC is a new communication protocol that relies on JavaScript that can leak your actual IP address from behind your VPN.</strong>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<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>
