WebRTC allows users to have video and audio communications directly in the browser without any plugins installed. An unfortunate side-effect is that your real IP/IPs risk being exposed and strip you of your anonymity. In our tests we�ve been able to confirm that the issue is present in Windows and to a lesser extent on Android, Linux, and OS X. We have not been able to reproduce the issue on iOS.

To see if WebRTC is enabled and if you�re leaking your real IP you can go�here. If you have disabled WebRTC or your browser does not support it, no IP addresses should show up under�Your local IP addresses:�or�Your public IP addresses:.

Please keep in mind that disabling WebRTC of course will lead to WebRTC applications not working. Therefore you might want to re-enable it when you�re not using WorldVPN.

ANDROID BROWSER

CHROME ON ANDROID

CHROME ON IOS

Chrome on iOS does not seem to implement the vulnerable parts of WebRTC yet.

CHROME

There is no known working solution, only a plugin that is easily circumvented. Please use Firefox instead.

FIREFOX

There is a plugin for Firefox to disable and enable WebRTC. You can download it�here.

Press �+ Add to firefox� and then press �Install now�. A little icon will turn up next to the address bar. It disables WebRTC by default. If you click it, it will turn grey which means WebRTC is enabled.

If you wish to manually disable or enable WebRTC you can use these instructions:

TO DISABLE

1. Enter �about:config� in the address bar and press enter
2. Press the button �I�ll be careful, I promise!�
3. Type in �media.peerconnection.enabled� in the search bar (there should be only one entry)
4. Right-click the entry choose �Toggle�, the column �Value� should now be �false�

TO ENABLE

1. Enter �about:config� in the address bar and press enter
2. Press the button �I�ll be careful, I promise!�
3. Type in �media.peerconnection.enabled� in the search bar (there should be only one entry)
4. Right-click the entry choose �Toggle�, the column �Value� should now be �true�
