WebRTC IP Leak(how to prevent it?)

WebRTC is a new communication protocol that relies on JavaScript that can leak your actual IP address from behind your VPN.
NOTE: The following instruction is only for Firefox browser.

There are softwares like Noscript to prevent it but it's a better idea to prevent the protocol directly as well.
You can check your leak HERE

How to disable WebRTC in Firefox?

All you have to do is to set "media.peerconnection.enabled" to "false" in "about:config".
STEPS:

1. Enter "about:config" in the firefox address bar and press enter.
2. Press the button "I'll be careful, I promise!"
3. Search for "media.peerconnection.enabled"
4. Double click the entry, the column "Value" should now be "false"
5. Done. now check your leak again here

If you want to make sure every single WebRTC related setting is really disabled change these settings:

1. media.peerconnection.turn.disable = true
2. media.peerconnection.use_document_iceservers = false
3. media.peerconnection.video.enabled = false
4. media.peerconnection.identity.timeout = 1

Now you can be sure that it's 100% disabled.

There are some nice addons that you can use in Firefox for privacy:

Privacy Badger:Privacy Badger is a browser add-on that stops advertisers and other third-party trackers from secretly tracking where you go and what pages you look at on the web.
