Proof of concept that reveals your computer's IP address even when behind a VPN:

Google Chrome is also vulnerable, and there is no way to disable WebRTC in it. Firefox does have this option. The remedy of installing WebRTC block extension doesn't work either.

Does Opera currently have any way to disable WebRTC with a flag, or offer a patch for this blatant security issue?

It is really a serious security issue. And steve-jobs-ghost is right: the chrome WebRtc-extension doesn't solve the problem for Opera. I haven't seen any reaction from Opera until now. So please, dear Opera-developers, offer some help to us enthousiastic opera-users. I hope it will soon be fixed.
Thanks

Hi @steve-jobs-ghost
, @ciao1, if you want, then for that purpose you can try the "CyberGhost VPN WebRTC block".
