Warning!

WebRTC is part of 99% of all common browsers and exposes your IP Address. This feature is enabled by default but you should disable it by default. Even a VPN/Proxy App cannot protect you against webRTC-leak.

How to Fix WebRTC Leaks ?

Here’s how to disable WebRTC in some of the most popular web browsers

Google Chrome

Using Chrome Flags (Limited Control):

Open Chrome and type chrome://flags in the address bar. Press Enter.
Search for "WebRTC" in the search bar.
Locate the flag labeled "WebRTC STUN origin header".
Click the dropdown menu next to the setting and choose "Disabled".

Important Note: Disabling STUN can limit some WebRTC functionalities on websites. It might prevent features like video calls or screen sharing from working properly.

Using Extensions (Consider with Caution):

It’s best to use an extension to disable WebRTC on Chrome here are a couple of extensions you could use:

WebRTC Network Limiter

Install

WebRTC Network Limiter is an official Google extension that tinkers with WebRTC settings to stop any IP leaks without completely blocking it. Since WebRTC Network Limiter doesn’t completely block WebRTC, the services that use WebRTC will still work on your browser.

uBlock Origin

Install

uBlock Origin isn’t dedicated to WebRTC alone, but it has a feature to disable it on your browser.

WebRTC Leak Prevent

Install

WebRTC Leak Prevent is the leading Chrome extension for preventing WebRTC leaks. As the developer has noted, this extension only changes WebRTC’s security and privacy settings – it doesn’t turn WebRTC off.

Mozilla Firefox

Using Firefox Configs :

Type about:config into your address bar and press Enter. Click the Show All button.
Toggle media.peerconnection.enabled to false.
To disable media devices, toggle media.navigator.enabled to false.
Retest for WebRTC leaks to make sure the issue is resolved.

Microsoft Edge

Using Edge Flags :

Open Microsoft Edge.
In the address bar, type about:flags and press Enter.
This opens the developer flags settings. You might see a warning message; you can safely ignore it.
In the search bar, type WebRTC.
Look for the setting labeled "Hide my local IP address over WebRTC connections".
Click the dropdown menu next to the setting and choose "Enabled".
Once you've made the change, click the "Restart" button at the bottom of the page to apply the new settings.
By enabling "Hide my local IP address over WebRTC connections," you prevent WebRTC from revealing your true IP address to websites. This helps maintain a layer of privacy while still allowing WebRTC functionality if needed by certain websites.

Safari

Using Safari Settings :

Open Safari’s settings menu.
Click on the Advanced tab, then check the box labeled ‘show Develop menu in menu bar’.
Click on Develop in the menu bar. Under the WebRTC dropdown option, uncheck Enable
Legacy WebRTC API. If this option is grayed out, you don’t need to change anything.
Retest for WebRTC leaks to make sure the issue is resolved.

Opera

Using Opera Config :

Type about:config into your address bar and press Enter.
Go to Settings > Advanced > Privacy & security. Scroll down until you see WebRTC.
Check Disable non-proxied UDP and save your changes.
Retest for WebRTC leaks to make sure the issue is resolved.

Brave

Using Brave Setting :

Open the Brave menu and click Settings > Shields > Fingerprinting Blocking.
Select ‘Strict, may break sites’. If you find that sites you use regularly are adversely affected.
you can revert this to the Standard setting.
In the left-hand menu, click Additional Settings > Privacy and security.
Change the dropdown menu option next to ‘WebRTC IP Handling Policy’ to ‘Disable Non-Proxied UDP’.
Retest for WebRTC leaks to make sure the issue is resolved.

What is WebRTC?

WebRTC stands for Web Real-Time Communication. It's a set of technologies built into modern web browsers that allows websites and web applications to directly communicate with your device in real-time without needing to install additional software.

How to Block WebRTC Leaks with a VPN

Disable your VPN.
Find and note your device's public IP address.
Turn your VPN back on.
Open your browser to ChitaVPN's WebRTC leak test tool.
If it's showing your device's real IP address from step two, then there is a leak. If it's showing a different IP address, then your VPN works.

NOTE : If you find out that your VPN isn’t doing anything to prevent WebRTC leaks, you can contact your VPN provider and cancel your VPN service, switch to a new VPN, or proceed to the most surefire solution for WebRTC leaks: disabling WebRTC altogether.

How does WebRTC detect my IPs?

WebRTC uses two main mechanisms to detect your IP addresses:

STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT):

This protocol helps establish a connection between two devices behind a Network Address Translation (NAT) firewall.

During the process, a STUN server acts as an intermediary, sending information back to your device that includes its public IP address.

WebRTC can potentially access this information and reveal your public IP address to the website or application you're connected to.

Local Candidate Discovery (Optional):

This is an optional feature in WebRTC that allows devices to discover each other's IP addresses directly, without relying on a server.

It achieves this by exchanging candidate IP addresses, which can include both your public IP (if directly connected to the internet) and private IP address (on your local network).

While some browsers attempt to block private IP addresses from being revealed, a website might still be able to learn your public IP through this method.
