> If you are not using Tor Browser and want to fix the security hole without disabling WebSocket completely, running the web browser in a separate network namespace is a workaround - you get a loopback interface which is independent from the main namespace, and you create a NAT interface within the network namespace to allow outgoing traffic. It's also a possibility for a website to probe other machines, such as the setting page on your router. For better protection, you should block all the local addresses defined by RFC1918 via netfilter/iptables as well.

As someone less tech savvy but still concerned, are there any guides available on how to do this?
