WebRTC Protocol Blocked
Released in MASQ App v0.7.1
WebRTC communication is now blocked by default when using the MASQ browser!
This prevents websites and certain protocols from extracting your real IP when browsing websites even when using other VPNs
Explainer
WebRTC may expose a device’s local and public internet addresses, even if you obscure your device's location with a virtual private network (VPN).
This is referred to as a WebRTC leak since it leaks private information. Once an advertiser or website host knows the public internet address of a device, they can identify the region, city, and internet service provider linked to that address.
