#16221: Enable WebRTC with TCP-ICE (and hidden services?)
-------------------------+--------------------------
Reporter: mikeperry | Owner: tbb-team
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Tor Browser | Version:
Keywords: ff38-esr | Actual Points:
Parent ID: | Points:
-------------------------+--------------------------
Mozilla added support for WebRTC over TCP, and WebRTC proxy support in
Firefox 34 and 38:

This might mean we can actually enable WebRTC now, if we turn off all of
the IP address discovery and non-TCP ICE mechanisms:

We could also potentially list a hidden service address as a WebRTC ICE
endpoint, though we would need to be careful about this since it means
that potentially every Tor Browser user who visits a WebRTC-enabled page
would suddenly spin up a hidden service. I wonder if we can have Tor
create the keys for a hidden service without actually starting it up
unless it is actually negotiated by WebRTC.
