From 8eb7f49e0c6b33f2392057a6f3b145285472592b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Taylor Brandstetter Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2016 14:49:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Removing incorrect statement related to IP leaking issue. The incorrect statement is "Applications can avoid exposing IP addresses... by not signalling non-relay ICE candidates." However, simply not signaling candidates is not enough to prevent IP addresses from leaking. These candidates will still be gathered and used to form candidate pairs, which means connectivity checks will be sent leaking the server reflexive address for every network interface. --- webrtc.html | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/webrtc.html b/webrtc.html index a6a34244b..136b4d377 100644 --- a/webrtc.html +++ b/webrtc.html @@ -3367,9 +3367,7 @@

To limit the IP addresses exposed to the application itself, browsers can offer their users different policies regarding sharing local IP addresses, as defined in
