You Need To Know How Websites Can Really Track Your IP Even With a VPN

Up to this date, Most of you have been thinking that when using a VPN or a proxy, the visited websites can not get your real IP address? That's far away from the truth now.

Websites Can Really Track Your IP When Using a VPN or a Proxy

Well, my knowledge has changed for better after reading an article by the researcher "Daniel Roesler", who published a serious piece of information about a gap in the WebRTC protocol. 
By using some of the Javascript tricks, most of the websites can get your real IP address you are using for browsing their pages. Are you following me, right? Let's find this out! 

How Does It Work?

First off, use your favourite VPN or Proxy, and then head to whatismyip.com or any other website you use to make sure that your IP address has changed to that VPN or Proxy you ran.

Alright, your IP address has changed. Log on to https://diafygi.github.io/webrtc-ips/ now. You are definitely surprised, aren't you?? Yeah, that's your real IP address, buddy! 

This is the vulnerability which is found in webrtc that lies not only in getting your public IP address but also your private IP address. For those of you who are not surprised or did not see their real IP address, Well done! You are playing the game right and you probably are hiding your IP address behind Tor Browser. 

What is The Solution?

The right solution to truly hide your real IP address is through the use of some add-ons and extensions in your browser. Though, when you install those plugins, you would not be able to fully browse the targeted website as they disable some of the page scripts like Java scripts, and that's what Tor browser actually does, which certain pages require those scripts to run without errors.  

Should you really need to block a specific site from getting your real IP address, then I advise you to install ScriptSafe if you are a Google Chrome user or Disable WebRTC for Firefox users. 

Have a safe browsing!
