Not sure if you'd stand out more. Disabling WebRTC gives the one who is trying to fingerprint two values to one variable: "WebRTC enabled? True || False" while having WebRTC enabled makes the fingerprinter able to get your IP, and it's a lot more detailed than "True || False".
- _g5q8 5y agoHow does WebRTC reveal my IP address in a way that regular browsing does not? Can you point me to a site to see what is being leaked?
- progmetaldev 5y agoHere is a link from ExpressVPN that displays whether your local IP address is being leaked. https://www.expressvpn.com/webrtc-leak-test https://www.expressvpn.com/webrtc-leak-test
- hutzlibu 5y agoI am not sure, if I understand correctly, but it seems it is only an issue, if I am using a VPN? Because without a VPN, I am naturally "leaking" my IP, as this is how the internet works?
- _g5q8 5y agoCorrect
- _g5q8 5y agoHmm, that page says WebRTC is disabled but I can use Google Meet (which I thought used WebRTC) without any issue https://i.imgur.com/b1NPYmr.png https://i.imgur.com/b1NPYmr.png
