Does WebRTC expose my IP despite a VPN?

Possibly yes. WebRTC can talk to STUN servers directly, bypassing the VPN, and reveal your real local or public IP. This test shows whether your browser is affected.

How do I protect against WebRTC leaks?

You can disable WebRTC in your browser (via a setting or extension), use a VPN with WebRTC protection, or use a browser that restricts WebRTC by default.

WebRTC and privacy

WebRTC is built into most modern browsers and can expose your local and public IP addresses. This is especially problematic when using a VPN – the VPN hides your IP at the network level, but WebRTC can bypass this protection and reveal your real IP to websites. A WebRTC leak test checks whether your browser is affected.
