FAQ

What is WebRTC technology?

WebRTC enables direct transmission of audio, video, and other data between browsers and applications without the need for additional plugins. It is used for video chats and online conferences and can increase the risk of IP address leakage.

Browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera are most vulnerable to WebRTC leaks as they support this technology by default.

While proper browser settings can reduce the risk of WebRTC leaks, for maximum protection, it is recommended to use a VPN that supports blocking the technology.

WebRTC leaks can lead to the disclosure of confidential corporate information, breach internal security policies, and create legal risks in case of data compromise of clients or business partners.

Although proxy servers mask the real IP address, they do not prevent WebRTC leaks. For comprehensive protection, it is necessary to disable WebRTC in the browser settings or use specialized extensions to block this technology.

This test determines whether the WebRTC technology, which can inadvertently reveal the real IP address of a user even when VPNs or proxies are used, is active in the browser.

How the WebRTC leak test works

After activation, the tool analyzes whether the browser can transmit local IP addresses via WebRTC. If a leak is detected, the user is provided with information about which IP addresses have been disclosed, including both local and public IPs associated with the device.

Risks of WebRTC leaks

Compromise of anonymity. WebRTC leaks can disclose user IP addresses, rendering the use of VPNs or proxy services ineffective. This means that measures taken to ensure online anonymity may become useless.

Increased tracking risk. Leaks through WebRTC allow third parties to track a user's online activity, increasing the risk of exposure to unwanted advertising, phishing, and other types of fraud.

Corporate data leak. In work networks, a WebRTC leak can compromise internal IP addresses and other confidential information, posing a risk to corporate security.

Detecting and addressing leaks allows for necessary steps to eliminate this threat, including disabling WebRTC or using browser extensions that block this technology.
