Each browser handles WebRTC differently, as well as locate the settings needed to disable it's functionality. Below are step by step instructions for disabling WebRTC on the most common browsers.
Head to the following URL in your address bar.
Scroll down and locate the "WebRTC STUN Origin Header" setting, and disable it.
Aditionally we recommend disabling WebRTC functionality for video encoding/decoding.
The Opera browser does not natively support the ability to disable WebRTC functionality, meaning users must rely on third-party tools to block or prevent the communications from occurring (thus preventing a leak).
Our Vortex feature accounts for dozens of the most common STUN servers (used for WebRTC), and will prevent leaks activley.
Open a new browser page and direct to the Settings page. From here, Show Advanced Settings, and click Privacy & Security. Scroll and locate the setting option to "Disable non-proxied UDP Requests" under WebRTC.
Head to the following URL in your address bar.
Scroll down and locate the "Hide my local IP address over WebRTC connections" setting, and enable it.
