SCANNING...What is a WebRTC Leak?
WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) allows direct media streaming between browsers. However, it can sometimes bypass VPNs and reveal your real public or local IP address, even if you are trying to stay anonymous. This test checks if your browser is exposing any IPs via this protocol.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is WebRTC?
WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is a technology that allows web browsers to stream audio, video, and data directly between each other without needing an intermediate server.
How does WebRTC leak my IP?
To establish a direct connection, WebRTC needs to know your IP address. It query STUN servers to discover your public and local IPs. Poorly configured VPNs might not block these requests, allowing websites to see your real IP through JavaScript.
How do I fix a WebRTC leak?
The best way is to use a reputable VPN with built-in WebRTC leak protection. Alternatively, you can disable WebRTC in your browser settings or use a privacy extension.
Is WebRTC dangerous?
It is not dangerous for security (it won't give you a virus), but it is a privacy risk if you are trying to hide your location or identity using a VPN.
