- k__ 10y agoAll I read was that it can directly connect two PCs, even if they are behind a NAT, which sounded like a cool idea at first. But having random sites doing this, didn't feel right to me.
- MichaelGG 10y agoThe real issue is that WebRTC ignores your proxy settings. This is obviously incorrect behaviour. Also there's no reason to allow silent P2P connections.
- cjbprime 10y agoIf you're thinking of the bug that exposed private IP addresses to the browser, it was fixed years ago.
- pmontra 10y agoIt's not fixed, see your addresses at https://www.privacytools.io/webrtc.html https://www.privacytools.io/webrtc.html
- pthatcherg 10y agoIf you want to force all traffic through a proxy, you must enable it using an extension, such as this one: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webrtc-network-limiter/npeicpdbkakmehahjeeohfdhnlpdklia https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webrtc-network-lim...
- lallysingh 10y agoThere isn't a solid UDP proxying story for browsers, generally.
- omginternets 10y agoIs there a technical reason for this?
- ronsor 10y agoYes: it's not possible. Neither Socks(Tor) nor HTTP proxies forward udp. Only VPNs - which is an OS-level configuration (normally anyway)
