Google releases a Chrome extension to fix the critical VPN security hole

Google has now published an extension for its Chrome browser that fixes this serious WebRTC security hole in Google Chrome. The WebRTC flaw was exploited by placing a few lines of code on a website and using a STUN server it became possible to reveal not only users’ true IP addresses, but also their local network address too. [...], now Google has published a tiny Chrome extension (7.31KB) called “WebRTC Network Limiter.” This extension disables the WebRTC multiple-routes option in Chrome’s privacy settings while configuring WebRTC not to use certain IP addresses. - Vijay, Techworm [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
