• [Recommended] Anonymize local IPs exposed by WebRTC - Chrome 86

You need to turn off the option that hides local IP addresses behind mDNS hostnames, so that local IPs are exposed in WebRTC ICE candidates.

If your Chrome version is recent (probably m85 or later?), set the chrome://flags/#temporary-unexpire-flags-m85 flag to Enable, then Relaunch.

Then set the chrome://flags/#enable-webrtc-hide-local-ips-with-mdns flag to Disable.

See Session Traversal Utilities for NAT#stun:localhost is not connect.
