• Auto-switch by domain allows profiles to activate automatically for configured domains.
• WebRTC leak protection helps prevent your real IP address from being exposed through WebRTC. Some WebRTC-based services may not work correctly while it is enabled. Learn more in UDP and WebRTC.
• Proxy fingerprint check (p0f) compares the operating system in the User-Agent with the TCP fingerprint. A mismatch may indicate proxy use. Learn more in OS fingerprint spoofing with p0f.
• IP checker lets you select the service used to detect your IP address and location. In Auto (fallback) mode, the extension tries the available services in sequence until one responds.
