yes, webrtc shares ip addresses

  If you disable P2P mode in Element for 1:1 VoIP calling then it doesn’t disclose your IP address to the other party.

    I must suggest that 'disable p2p mode' should be default - and if they go to use to voice, it could prompt user that optional setting change could make better performance with change, but will expose ip. Not sure of other matrix usage.. but my users are like 95% never going to voice, and if they knew the privacy implications, would choose to use vacaroo rather than p2p and expose. Seems like it's a security hole that is likely to be exploited by others more than a feature that is used by the masses. Again I want the option, and would run a turn/stun server just to make it more private for my users.. I understand for some folks they'd be better off trusting the person they are talking to more than a server in the middle.. so I think options are great. But defaults can be dangerous. Now I'm in the boat of weighing options for warning my users to disable this - but then it's more likely going to teach some bad actors that an issue exists - and they are more likely to use it as opposed to a majority of my users that will ignore it (the warning).
