Public IP address is revealed when using a VPN

[EliteGams]

What version of WebTorrent Desktop? (See the 'About WebTorrent' menu) v0.18.0 (64-bit)

What operating system and version? Windows 10

What did you do? Downloaded a torrent behind a vpn, then allowed it to be seeded.

What did you expect to happen? Since it was behind a vpn i though it would use the vpn ip when seeding.

What actually happened? When i was seed a torrent from my desktop behind a vpn it reviled my real IP address? I have tried a few other vpn and still got the same results.

Same for me. Seems the problem is https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent/issues/552 The problem happens both seeding from the desktop application or from a real browser (via torrent.xyz). I can find my ISP IP (no the one from the VPN) using chrome:\webrtc-internals under

Conn-data-1-0 (googCandidatePair)
googRemoteAddress

This should have been mitigate from browsers time ago. But I'm facing the problem using Webtorrent. Tried to integrate https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/8866 but I was not succesfull (ISP ip is reveled or seeder does not seed, depending on the WebRTCIPPolicy value I use).

Chromium fixed this issue already. The VPN's IP should always be used. This sounds like an issue that may be caused by us using an older Electron release. Let's try updating to the latest version which includes an updated Chromium and see if this fixes the issue.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
