Other companies claim that they protect against the leak of real IP through WebRTC . They promise that I can still use WebRTC and that I will be protected from any leakage at the same time. This applies to all of my devices (Android, Windows)
My subscription is running out though.
All I could find about how Mullvad handels WebRTC is the article on their Website.
It doesn't look like Mullvad is protecting me from leaking my external/public IP. They just suggest to turn it off? Well WebRTC isn't just used in browsers it is also used by many apps like facebook messanger and instagram.
Also other VPN companies promise that they protect against WebRTC leaks through other protections. Quote from a diffrent provider regarding WebRTC : "A good VPN app will use firewall rules and other platform-specific techniques to ensure your real IP address can’t be exposed by WebRTC."
If Mullvad can't clear the air on this I might choose a different provider. Their website is either missing information, or (the worst case) they don't protect against WebRTC leaks.
I love the general fight Mullvad puts up for privacy! At the same time I don't want to choose a VPN provider that doesn't do whatever they can to prevent any type of IP leaks.
