Prevent WebRTC from leaking local IP address
Keep in mind that this feature is to prevent leakage of your non-internet-facing IP adresses. The purpose of this feature is not to hide your current internet-facing IP address -- so be cautious to not misinterpret the results of the tests above. For example, if you use a VPN, your internet-facing IP address is that of the VPN, so your ISP-provided IP address should not be visible to outside world with this setting checked. However, if you are not behind any VPN or proxy, your ISP-provided IP address will be visible regardless of this setting.
It has been reported that Google Hangout and Facebook messenger do not work properly when this setting is enabled (issue #757, #681).
The feature works only on version 42 and above.
WebRTC is required for Firefox Hello to work properly. Thus Firefox Hello won't work if you enable this setting.
