Until that moment you think your IP address is anonymous when using a VPN..
Daniel Roesler, a computer security researcher working in Oakland, published a surprising demo. If you use a VPN (excluding CISCO) on Windows and you are surfing with Chrome or Firefox, your real IP can be discovered by any web site without you even knowing it.

and this gap has not only know your public IP address but your Private IP address .
This is the story of a "loophole" WebRTC that broadcasts your IP, even behind a VPN
Problem, WebRTC has a "loophole" which can be quite annoying for those who use a VPN and want to hide their original IP address. It makes it possible for any website to find it, not to stop at one of the VPN, at least on Windows. Numerous media have reversed the case in recent days, citing in particular a prototype that had been put online via this repository Github.
This is due to the STUN protocol (Simple crossing UDP through NAT) developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which allows an application to know the actual IP address of the machine. It is used in VoIP type of customers as well as SIP. It is therefore not unusual that WebRTC retrieves this data, but what is more worrying is that this is done without the user being informed and without any confirmation is requested. But in fact, this has absolutely nothing new.
How to protect yourself from this vulnerability?
To be safe, you should block the WebRTC API in your browser. This is the development module that is used to query the STUN server that communicates your real IP. Block WebRTC can make available some applications that use it.
*For protection on Chrome / Chromium / Opera, just install the following extension that disables WebRTC: WebRTC Block.
*To protect Firefox, type about: config in your browser address bar. Look for the "media.peerconnection.enabled" parameter, right click on it and "reverse" (to pass it to false).
*To protect Internet Explorer and Safari both browsers do not use WebRTC the source of the fault. So you have nothing to do.
*For protection on TOR Browser: default TOR Browser disables WebRTC. Again, no problems to report.
