    No it can't, but yes it can, just not like that.

    https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Resources-Library#now...

    As can be seen, it matches on the source, not the destination

    can match on the destination, however.

    Its not a good state of things, but I'm assuming its more of an issue on the browser side as opposed to the extension side

      Thanks for the reference links. I blocked RTC connections initiated on the SBI Shinsei banking log in page at bk.web.sbishinseibank.co.jp with the following custom uBlock Origin filter:

          bk.web.sbishinseibank.co.jp##+js(nowebrtc)
      
      You can see that it works because typing `new window.RTCPeerConnection()` in the browser console prints this:

           Document tried to create an RTCPeerConnection:  undefined
      
      Which comes from uBlock, see https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/5efb8ee4891c09720011e...

      Edit: I gave a shout-out to your comment on the blog post linked in this submission. Thanks again.

    Perhaps someone here knows how to make uBlock Origin block STUN/TURN connection attempts to domain names that are in its block list?
