Theoretically speaking, if one wanted to sail the seas while being not very tech savvy – is using a VPN (Mullvad) enough? I would never, of course… but theoretically?

check browserleaks.com and their webrtc leak test to find out! (if u get leaks u might need to disable ipv6)
Ooh, this is exactly the kind of stuff I need to learn how to check, thank you! I mean, theoretically…
Mullvad even has their own leak tests on their website. So once you’re connected, just go to the homepage and run a test before doing anything.
Awesome, thanks. I’m learning all kinds of theoretical things!

WebRTC (peer to peer media shit don’t worry about it) intrinsically leaks IP information. It needs to be turned off in browsers like Firefox as well if that’s whta you’re using.

Either through settings, it’s in there somewhere, or  about:config and search for rtc amd disable.
