Frequently Asked Questions

What is WebRTC and why is it a privacy concern?

WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is a technology that enables real-time communication in web browsers. While useful for video calls and file sharing, it can expose your local IP address even when using a VPN, potentially compromising your privacy and anonymity.

How does WebRTC leak my IP address?

WebRTC uses STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) servers to discover your public and local IP addresses. This process can bypass VPN protection and reveal your real IP address to websites, even when you think you're protected by a VPN.

Should I disable WebRTC completely?

Disabling WebRTC depends on your needs. If you use video calling services like Google Meet, Zoom, or Discord in your browser, you may need WebRTC enabled. However, if privacy is your priority and you don't need these features, disabling WebRTC is recommended.

Can VPNs protect against WebRTC leaks?

Some VPNs offer WebRTC leak protection, but not all do. Even with VPN protection, WebRTC can still leak your local IP address. The most reliable protection is to disable WebRTC in your browser or use browser extensions that block WebRTC requests.

How often should I test for WebRTC leaks?

Test for WebRTC leaks whenever you change your browser settings, install new extensions, or update your browser. It's also good practice to test regularly (monthly) to ensure your privacy protection remains effective.
