      WebRTC, a communications API used by nearly everyone except for Internet Explorer, has a vulnerability that can expose public IP addresses in addition to VPN'd IP addresses.

        Thanks for the heads up.

        The immediately important bit (until a resolution) from the article:
        Disabling WebRTC can be done by installing the WebRTC Block extension for Chrome, while in Firefox the “media.peerconnection.enabled” needs to be set to “false” on the advanced configuration page (about:config).
