Hi everyone,

I'm not sure this is the place to share this, but I though some of you might want to know: an information leak has been discovered on Firefox / Chrome, and it can be used to reveal a user's real IP address. The article is focused on VPN, but people who connect to the Tor network through a local SOCKS proxy are also affected. Demo here.

Thanks for the heads up! While I can confirm it works on FF and Chrome, my testing indicates this doesn't affect vanilla TorBrowser. (Tested on Windows) TBB disables WebRTC: https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser.git/tree/.mozconfig?h=tor-browser-... for this and other reasons =)
