Description
Hello
I have noticed that my real ip could be leaked by WebRTC protocol.(https://browserleaks.com/webrtc), even my browser is opened behind proxychains. Is there any solution to fix that or block the webrtc protocol in the proxychains settings?

Start by reviewing proxychains-ng’s socket-hooking behavior and configuration options, then compare them with the WebRTC leak described through browserleaks.com/webrtc. Done means establishing whether proxychains-ng can prevent this leak or documenting that it cannot.
