How can I disable WebRT in SS?
Hi,
I am trying to use a VPN by disconnecting and reconnecting to different servers to avoid being detected, but eventhough my requests pass through a different server and my public ip address changes each time, the site I am trying to scrape still detects me somehow because they block me anyway.
I read about a vulnerability that VPNs has called WebRT by which your internal ip address is still being passed to the browser:
http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2015/02/how-to-see-if-your-vpn-is-leaking-your-ip-address-and-how-to-stop-it/
I did the test and my internal ip address is detectable by the browser even while I am connected to a vpn and my public address has changed, so I believe that might be what the site I am trying to scrape is using to identify all the requests as coming from same computer and block me.
To stop this vulnerability while using the browser you can install an extension, so that your internal ip address stops being passed to the browser.
How can I disable this info from being passed while scraping?
Cheers,
BoGa
There is no screen-scraper
There is no screen-scraper browser, so I don't think this is an issue.
I like to scrape this page to see what issue I can see. Also sometimes cookies can be an issue.
