Mozilla VPN and WebRTC Leaks
Does the Mozilla VPN prevent WebRTC leaks with the default settings for Firefox? Do you recommend overriding the Firefox WebRTC defaults?

Hello!
If your real IP address is not showing, you shouldn't worry about the WebRTC leak notification.
Additionally, you can test for WebRTC leaks with the VPN on through the official Mullvad website:

Hello,
Thanks for your message.
The default settings of Mozilla Firefox browser should prevent WebRTC leaks, no need to override them.
You can go ahead and make some tests here https://hide.me/en/webrtc-leak-test
Let us know if we can help with anything else.

Thierry - Thanks very much for replying.
I ran the test at https://hide.me/en/webrtc-leak-test. It says "WebRTC is enabled and might expose your real IP address!". However when I do a WhoIs on the IP address it displays it's the address I have my VPN set to and it changes if I change the VPN address. Seems to track the meaningless VPN address not mine.
Should I still be suppressing WebRTC?
