IP Address leaking via WebRTC #415

First off , thanks for a wonderfully quick and slick browser!

It would be nice to be able to disable WebRTC so that Lightning no longer leaks the true IP address when using a proxy.

Yeah, we know this for a long time: #285

You should probably block Lightning-Browser's internet alltogheter. That way it is only able to access the internet through Orbot. (Use for example Netguard)

That said, do not rely on this browser for anonymity. At all. There's much more to it than just your IP address. The fingerprint that the browser generates is completely unique so you're internet activity can be tied together. This generates enough bits of identifying information to reveal your identity.

for some reason i thought this was a fork of lightning that added privacy enhancements https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.stoutner.privacybrowser.standard

(double post) here it is https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.jtechme.jumpgo "Open-source and free to use! JumpGo for Android is based on the Lightning Browser. Fork JumpGo from github." so weird, wonder what version it's using
