"VPN users are facing a massive security flaw as websites can
easily see their home IP-addresses through WebRTC. The
vulnerability is limited to supporting browsers such as Firefox
and Chrome [and apparently FreeBSD], and appears to affect Windows
users only. Luckily the security hole is relatively easy to fix."
