@DiegoRBaquero : which VPN (if any) do YOU use?
Hi!
It should be system wide. I really doubt an extension will do WebRTC proxying.
If you are not using a system wide VPN, yes, that IP will be shared to WebRTC peers.
I don't use any.
Thanks Diego. Interestingly, in Waterfox, after installing and activating WebRTC Leak Shield by Hoxx Vpn, then activate anonymous VPN via Best Proxy Switcher, whoer.net does NOT display my real IP anymore (and not even my LAN IP), but web torrents still download. Needless to say I won't bet on if that also means that my real IP will NOT be shared to WebRTC peers...
Cool, that's interesting, wonder how they do it. Im gonna close this, feel free to continue discussion :)
You can download the add-on
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/820050/webrtc_leak_shield-1.0.4-an+fx-mac.xpi
open with pretty much any unarchiver because this is just a .zip renamed to .xpi and look at the source code (should be plain java script)
I don't mind sharing my IP :p :D
Hi Diego. I've read your answer at Does WebTorrent expose my IP address via BitTorrent?
and others' comments across the boards. In that context, let me ask two questions:
Because even with any of the 7 premium VPN proxies enabled in Best Proxy Switcher (Waterfox/ Firefox), https://whoer.net always also displays my real IP underneath my LAN IP.
Rather that expanding testing to other plugins and other browsers I thought I asked you as the expert first, rather than going down another potential rabbit hole.
I appreciate your opinion and advice.
