WebRTC Leak Test

What is WebRTC?

WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is a technology built into modern browsers that enables direct peer-to-peer communication for features like video calls, voice chat, and file sharing. While useful, WebRTC can expose your real IP address even when using a VPN.

Why WebRTC Leaks Are Dangerous

WebRTC operates outside your VPN tunnel by design. This means even with an active VPN connection, websites can use WebRTC to discover your real IP address through a STUN request.

• Bypasses VPN: Your real IP is exposed despite VPN protection
• Reveals Location: Your actual geographic location can be determined
• Tracking: Websites can link your VPN IP to your real identity
• Silent Exposure: Happens in the background without your knowledge

Which Browsers Are Affected?

Most modern browsers have WebRTC enabled by default:

How to Prevent WebRTC Leaks

• Use Duckier: Our apps include built-in WebRTC leak protection
• Browser Extension: Install the Duckier browser extension for additional protection
• Disable WebRTC: In Firefox, set media.peerconnection.enabled to false in about:config
• Use Extensions: WebRTC blocking extensions are available for Chrome and other browsers

Understanding Your Results

• No Leak (Green): WebRTC is either disabled or properly protected. Your real IP is hidden.
• Leak Detected (Red): Your browser is exposing IP addresses through WebRTC. Enable protection to fix this.
