WebRTC uses STUN and TURN servers to connect user browsers for real time video and audio communications --that are user IP to IP, peer-to-peer.

For instance if you are on a public address behind a router and have a NAT address like 192.168.1.100 on your router intranet. WebRTC needs to know your real IP and your local network IP to route the traffic.

Just disable WebRTC in your browser and don't use peer to peer communications like zoom ... other

If someone is using your business for an illegal purpose you will comply with any reasonable police request or with a court summons in a civil matter (lawsuit).

No one will jeopardize their business
--not withstanding some legal challenge
--that would be a very narrow constitutional issue (if there really is one in the first place);
to cover for some random customer.

Check your VPN settings and run a quick WebRTC test. Also, you can see more insights on here. Better safe than sorry, right?
