Description hackenstacks 2024-12-23 20:05:56 UTC

SUMMARY
Webrtc will continue to work after selecting no webrtc option. I have even tried disabling webrtc in the config file and it says its off and it is not. I have not found a way to turn off webrtc for Falkon.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go into preferences 
2. Tick disable Webrtc
3. Apply changes

OBSERVED RESULT
Goto www.doileak.com select classic test goto webrtc section and see real ip revealed through webrtc. It makes no difference if you use a tor proxy your real ip will leak through webrtc.

EXPECTED RESULT
Webrtc to be disabled.

I found a config page before and turned off all webrtc references i cleared
cookies and changed connections and webrtc was still leaking ip. Im not
sure if I used the config page internal pages but I will give it a try.
Some sites where not able to detect webrtc but https://doileak.com
choosing the classic test reveales the ip through webrtc everytime. I will
try the internal pages and report back. Thankyou for a great product
suite.  I know this is bugs reporting but I would like to make a feature
request , not sure how to impliment but a kde light version would be nice
exspecially for non systemd systems and it could help with sustanable goals
on enviroment by enabling older hardware back even to the early 2000 to
have a responsive functional usable system just a suggestion.

Hello,
I do not know if this patch will fix the issue, I saw that this was probably miss-configured so I tried to fix it.

I do not know how much more can be done to fix this issue. I am not aware of such Qt API.
