Prevent IP leak. WebRTC
See original GitHub issueI have installed TOR in my server, and using it as proxy server for puppeteer. It is running on port 9060
// Dependencies
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const fs = require('fs');
const request = require('request');
const USER_AGENTS = [
'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0'
];
const SS_PATH = '/var/www/storage/app/public/images/';
// Variables
let page = null;
let response = {success: true, screenshot: null, message: null};
async function register()
{
try
{
const extensionPath = 'extensions/webrtc';
await puppeteer.launch({ userDataDir: './cache', slowMo: 10, headless: true, args:[
`--disable-extensions-except=${extensionPath}`,
`--load-extension=${extensionPath}`,
'--lang=en-US,en',
'--no-sandbox',
'--disable-setuid-sandbox',
'--disable-infobars',
'--proxy-server=socks5://127.0.0.1:9060'],
ignoreHTTPSErrors: true, dumpio: false
}).then(async browser => {
await createTab(browser);
await page.evaluateOnNewDocument(() => {
chrome.privacy.network.webRTCIPHandlingPolicy.set({
value: "default_public_interface_only"
});
});
await page.goto('https://www.expressvpn.com/webrtc-leak-test');
await page.waitFor(20000);
let screenshotName5 = `ipleak${Date.now()}.jpg`;
response.screenshot = screenshotName5;
await takeScreenshot(screenshotName5, page);
process.exit();
await browser.close();
});
} catch(err) {
console.log(err);
}
}
register().then(function()
{
console.log(JSON.stringify(response));
process.exit();
});
// Creates new tab
async function createTab(browser)
{
page = await browser.newPage();
page.on('error', err=> {});
page.on('pageerror', err=> {});
await page.deleteCookie(...cookies);
await page._client.send('Network.clearBrowserCookies');
await page.setViewport({
width: 1920,
height: 1080
});
await page.setUserAgent(
USER_AGENTS[Math.floor(Math.random()*USER_AGENTS.length)]
);
await page.setExtraHTTPHeaders({
'Accept': 'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,image/png,*/*;q=0.8',
'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate, br',
'Accept-Language': 'en;q=0.9',
'Connection': 'keep-alive'
});
}
// Takes screenshot
async function takeScreenshot(name, page)
{
let options = {
path: SS_PATH+'/'+name,
fullPage: true
}
await page.screenshot(options);
}
Tell us about your environment:
- Puppeteer version: 1.13 (I guess, I installed newest version a month ago)
- Platform / OS version: Ubuntu 18.04
- URLs (if applicable):
- Node.js version: v10.11.0
What is the expected result?
See that my public sever’s IP is not leaking.
What happens instead?
I see this:
Even tough I am using TOR, i see that my real IP address is leaking through WebRTC.
Im sure that TOR proxy is working cause puppeteer works fine and if I go to whatismyip.com I see a different IP addres than mine’s.
As you can see I tried to use this: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/2878
as a solution, but it didn’t help. (I assume extension works fine, cause I get no errors while running the code).
So my question is, how can I disable WebRTC so it won’t leak my public IP address?

Another way to do it:
@dudeperfect95 you can pass a comma-separated list of paths for both
--disable-extensions-except
and--load-extension
flags.
