Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but VPN's are supposed to provide user anonymity aren't they? However, it appears a lot of VPN providers have been leaking customers IP addresses via the WebRTC bug and some of them didn't even know what that was. To top it off some VPN providers are keeping logs of their clients use of the VPN. So next time you decide to use a VPN provider for whatever reason you need to realize you may not be anonymous after all. Thanks cageymaru.
The problem was that STUN servers would disclose this information to websites that had already negotiated an WebRTC connection with a user's browser.
Since then, many advertisers and law enforcement agencies have used this WebRTC-related bug to acquire a site's visitor's IP address.
