<h3>How to fix the WebRTC Leak in Google Chrome?</h3>
|
||||
<h3>How to disable WebRTC in Safari?</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Safari is far stricter with WebRTC than other major browsers, and it does not leak your IP address in its default configuration. If you'd like, you can follow these steps just to double-check your browser:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol class="long-string-list">
|
||||
<li>Choose "Preferences" under the Safari menu in your menu bar.</li>
|
||||
<li>Select the Advanced tab and check the "Show Develop menu in menu bar" box.</li>
|
||||
<li>Exit Preferences and open the Develop menu in your menu bar.</li>
|
||||
<li>In the drop-down menu, open the "WebRTC" submenu and ensure "Enable Legacy WebRTC API" is unchecked. If it's grayed out, even better.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>How to disable WebRTC in Google Chrome?</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>WebRTC cannot be fully disabled in Chrome; however, it is possible to change its routing settings (and prevent leaks) using an extension. Two open-source solutions include <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webrtc-leak-prevent/eiadekoaikejlgdbkbdfeijglgfdalml">WebRTC Leak Prevent</a> (options may need to be changed depending on the scenario), and <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm">uBlock Origin</a> (select "Prevent WebRTC from leaking local IP addresses" in Settings).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>What about other browsers?</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Chrome on iOS, Internet Explorer and Safari does not implement WebRTC yet. <a href="#browser"><i class="fas fa-link"></i> But we recommend using Firefox on all devices.</a></p>

<p>Centralized messengers are those where every participant is on the same server or network of servers controlled by the same organization.</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>Peer-to-Peer instant messengers connect directly to each other without requiring third-party servers. Clients (peers) usually find each other through the use of a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_computing">distributed computing</a> network. Examples of this include <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table">DHT (distributed hash table)</a> (used with technologies like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol)">torrents</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System">IPFS</a>, for example), or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethereum">Ethereum</a>'s <a href="https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Whisper">Whisper</a> protocol (used with some newer DApps). Another approach is proximity based networks, where a connection is established over WiFi or Bluetooth (for example, Briar or the <a href="https://www.scuttlebutt.nz">Scuttlebutt</a> social networking protocol). Once a peer has found a route to its contact via any of these methods, a direct connection between them is made.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Advantages</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Minimal information is exposed to third parties.</li>
|
||||
<li>Modern P2P platforms implement end-to-end encryption by default. There are no servers that could potentially intercept and decrypt your transmissions, unlike centralized and federated models.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Disadvantages</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Reduced feature set:</li>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Messages can only be sent when both peers are online, however, your client may store messages locally to wait for the contact to return online.</li>
|
||||
<li>Generally increases battery usage on mobile devices, because the client must stay connected to the distributed network to learn about who is online.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<li>Your <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address">IP address</a> and that of the contacts you're communicating with may be visible if you do not use the software in conjunction with a <a href="/software/networks">self contained network</a>, such as <a href="https://www.torproject.org">Tor</a> or <a href="https://geti2p.net/">I2P</a>.

<h3>Advantages</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Minimal information is exposed to third parties.</li>
|
||||
<li>Modern P2P platforms implement end-to-end encryption by default. There are no servers that could potentially intercept and decrypt your transmissions, unlike centralized and federated models.</li>

<h3>Disadvantages</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Reduced feature set:</li>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Messages can only be sent when both peers are online, however, your client may store messages locally to wait for the contact to return online.</li>
|
||||
<li>Generally increases battery usage on mobile devices, because the client must stay connected to the distributed network to learn about who is online.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<li>Your <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address">IP address</a> and that of the contacts you're communicating with may be visible if you do not use the software in conjunction with a <a href="/software/networks">self contained network</a>, such as <a href="https://www.torproject.org">Tor</a> or <a href="https://geti2p.net/">I2P</a>.

<p>[...] But saying that you don't need or want privacy because you have nothing to hide is to assume that no one should have, or could have, to hide anything -- including their immigration status, unemployment history, financial history, and health records. You're assuming that no one, including yourself, might object to revealing to anyone information about their religious beliefs, political affiliations, and sexual activities, as casually as some choose to reveal their movie and music tastes and reading preferences.</p>

<h2>Mullvad <span class="badge badge-info">EUR €60/Year</span></h2>
|
||||
<p><strong>Mullvad</strong> is a fast and inexpensive VPN with a serious focus on transparency and security. They have been in operation since <strong>2009</strong>. It is the only VPN provider that currently meets our criteria for recommendation. Mullvad is based in <span class="flag-icon flag-icon-se"></span> Sweden and does not have a free trial. Visit <a href="https://mullvad.net/">mullvad.net</a> to create an account.</p>
|
||||
<h5><span class="badge badge-success">406+ Servers</span></h5>
|
||||
<p>Mullvad has 409 servers in 39 countries at the time of writing this page. Typically the more servers a provider offers, the better: With hundreds of servers in operation, you are far more likely to find a fast connection and a server geographically closest to you.</p>
|
||||
<h5><span class="badge badge-success">WireGuard Support</span></h5>
|

<p>In addition to standard OpenVPN connections, Mullvad supports WireGuard. WireGuard is an experimental protocol with theoretically better security and higher reliability, although it is not currently recommended for production use.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://mullvad.net/">Mullvad.net</a> </strong> is a fast and inexpensive VPN with a serious focus on transparency and security. They have been in operation since <strong>2009</strong>. Mullvad is based in <span class="flag-icon flag-icon-se"></span> Sweden and does not have a free trial.</p>
|
||||
<h5><span class="badge badge-success">35 Countries</span></h5>
|
||||
<p>Mullvad has <a href="https://mullvad.net/en/servers/">servers in 35 countries</a> at the time of writing this page. Picking a VPN provider with a server nearest to you will reduce latency of the network traffic you send. This is because of a shorter route (less hops) to the destination.</p>
|
||||
<p>We also think it's better for the security of the VPN provider's private keys if they use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedicated_hosting_service">dedicated servers</a>, instead of cheaper shared solutions (with other customers) such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_server">virtual private servers</a>.</p>
|
||||
<h5><span class="badge badge-success">Independently Audited</span></h5>
|

<p>Mullvad's VPN clients have been audited by Cure53 and Assured AB in a pentest report <a href="https://cure53.de/pentest-report_mullvad_v2.pdf">published at cure53.de</a>. The security researchers concluded:</p>

<blockquote class="blockquote">
|

<p class="mb-0">...Cure53 and Assured AB are happy with the results of the audit and the software leaves an overall positive impression.

<h5><span class="badge badge-success">IPv6 Support</span></h5>
|
||||
<p>Mullvad supports the future of networking <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6">IPv6</a>. Their network allows users to <a href="https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2014/9/15/ipv6-support/">access services hosted on IPv6</a> as opposed to other providers who block IPv6 connections.</p>

<p>Mullvad provides the source code for their desktop and mobile clients in their <a href="https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app">GitHub organization</a>.</p>
|
||||
<h5><span class="badge badge-success">Accepts Bitcoin</span></h5>
|
||||
<p>Mullvad in addition to accepting credit/debit cards and PayPal, accepts <strong>Bitcoin</strong>, <strong>Bitcoin Cash</strong>, and <strong>cash/local currency</strong> as anonymous forms of payment. They also accept Swish and bank wire transfers.</p>
|
||||
<h5><span class="badge badge-warning">No Mobile Clients</span></h5>
|
||||
<p>While iOS and Android clients are reportedly in the works, mobile users will need to use a traditional OpenVPN client and configuration files, which are a bit more difficult to configure.</p>

<h5><span class="badge badge-success">Independently Audited</span></h5>
|

<p>As of January 2020 ProtonVPN has undergone an independent audit by SEC Consult. SEC Consult found some medium and low risk vulnerabilities in ProtonVPN's Windows, Android, and iOS applications, all of which were "properly fixed" by ProtonVPN before the reports were published. None of the issues identified would have provided an attacker remote access to a user's device or traffic. You can view individual reports for each platform at <a href="https://protonvpn.com/blog/open-source/">protonvpn.com</a>.
