If a firewall is a good idea, where/how do i need to set up a firewall? (Sorry i'm not tech-savvy)

Also i noticed firefox has an addon for preventing webrtc ip leaks. Can that be used with tor?

If you're not tech savvy, don't try to setup your own firewall. Use a pre-existing solution. Plugins can be enabled by going into the Tor Button privacy and security settings and WebRTC support isn't included in Tor Browser (and hasn't been for a long time). However enabling plugins and using a firewall won't stop all forms of IP leaks. — cacahuatl, Commented Jul 31, 2016 at 22:11

You prevent IP leaks by using the tor browser bundle in its most paranoid security setting.

Enabling plugins will expose you to deanonymouzation techniques. Enabling a firewall does not help.

The reason the defaults are the way they are is for your safety. Do not change them unless you understand the consequences.
