What is a WebRTC Leak?
WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is a technology that enables browser-to-browser applications like voice calling, video chat, and P2P file sharing without plugins.
However, WebRTC can bypass proxy and VPN connections by establishing direct peer connections, potentially exposing your real IP address even when using privacy tools.
How to Fix WebRTC Leaks
- Browser extensions: Install WebRTC blocking extensions like WebRTC Leak Prevent or uBlock Origin
- Browser settings: Disable WebRTC in browser settings or advanced configurations
- VPN solutions: Use a VPN that specifically protects against WebRTC leaks
- Alternative browsers: Consider privacy-focused browsers with WebRTC protection

Understanding WebRTC Security
WebRTC is a powerful and necessary technology for modern web applications, but it can create privacy issues when using proxies:
- WebRTC can establish peer connections that bypass proxy and VPN routing
- These connections may expose your actual public and local IP addresses
- This leak can reveal your true identity and location despite using anonymizing services
- Regular testing is essential for maintaining privacy and security
