WebRTC technology may bypass proxies/VPNs and directly expose your real IP address (including local IPs). This page automatically detects if your browser has WebRTC leak risks.
WebRTC leaks expose your real IP address even if you're using a VPN or proxy. This means your real geographic location and ISP information can be obtained by websites. For privacy-conscious users, WebRTC leaks pose a serious security risk as they bypass VPN protection.
Methods to prevent WebRTC leaks: 1) Install browser extensions to disable WebRTC (e.g., uBlock Origin, WebRTC Leak Prevent); 2) Disable WebRTC in browser settings (supported by some browsers); 3) Use VPN clients with WebRTC leak protection; 4) In Firefox, go to about:config and set media.peerconnection.enabled to false.
