WebRTC Leak on Android (reddthat.com)

Can Android apps use WebRTC, or is WebRTC only available in browsers?

If Android apps can use WebRTC, how can it be blocked per app or system-wide to prevent IP or network leaks?

I know Mullvad protects against WebRTC leaks and (jf connected to their VPN) you can test by visiting mullvad.net

Thanks, but my main concern is with Android apps, not just browsers. It seems that any app using WebRTC can obtain a user’s real IP address, even when a proxy is being used
