Not connected, Your IP: 3.139.238.76

Recommended Posts

I m connected to Talitha and all DNS is going trough the VPN.

I took a look at my windows firewall (which i enabled due to "network lock") and it shows a lot of these:

 

date time action protocol src-ip dst-ip src-port dst-port size tcpflags tcpsyn tcpack tcpwin icmptype icmpcode info path
2015-06-29 11:33:34 DROP UDP 192.168.2.94 54.172.47.69 58683 3478 0 - - - - - - - SEND
2015-06-29 11:33:35 DROP UDP 192.168.2.94 54.172.47.69 58683 3478 0 - - - - - - - SEND
2015-06-29 11:33:37 DROP UDP 192.168.2.94 54.172.47.69 58683 3478 0 - - - - - - - SEND

54.172.47.69 --> is an amazon IP

 

After allowing this IP, my IP get leaked by webrtc. (tested on https://ipleak.net/)

Can anyone explain this behaviour?

I think I can:

The Windows Firewall, as configured by the Network Lock, correctly blocked untunneled connection attempts to 54.172.47.69.

Sounds like WebRTC - let's see what this IP is up to:
 

stun.services.mozilla.com. 300    IN    CNAME    stun1.webrtc.us-east-1.prod.mozaws.net.
stun1.webrtc.us-east-1.prod.mozaws.net.    60 IN A    54.172.47.69

 

Sure enough, it's one of Mozilla's STUN servers hosted on Amazon AWS.

 

If ...

  • a website makes use of your browser's WebRTC implementation
  • your firewall allows direct connections to one of the STUN servers and ...
  • you haven't disabled WebRTC in your browser

your IP will leak as you experienced.

 

 

Solutions:

  • Don't touch Air's firewall setup.
  • Regardless of the particular firewall you use, never allow any direct connections between your local network / local router and a remote host - other than to Air's servers, of course.
  • Disable WebRTC in Firefox. Open about:config, find the following entry and set it to false:
  • media.peerconnection.enabled
