How do I fix WebRTC IP leakage?
By far the simplest way is to block WebRTC leaks by using NordVPN. Whether you're using our regular VPN or our browser plugins for Firefox or Chrome, either will block any unwanted IP address leaks through WebRTC while allowing authorized WebRTC connections to continue under your anonymous IP address.
How can I protect myself from IP leaks caused by flash or WebRTC?
Go to 'Settings' and find 'WebRTC Protect' Switch the toggle to 'ON' As this changes the behaviour of the extension, you might be asked again by your browser to allow the extension to edit your privacy settings. You are now fully protected against WebRTC leaks!
Does WebRTC still leak IP?
As long as WebRTC is turned on in your browser and you're on a website that uses it, your real IP address will be visible, and, therefore, it will be leaking. The only way to avoid a WebRTC leak is to turn it off in your browser (more on how to do this later).
Why does WebRTC leak IP?
WebRTC works by creating a live connection through your browser. It communicates with the website you're visiting and shares information about your device, including your IP address. WebRTC leaks happen when live connections operate outside the encrypted tunnel established by your VPN.
What is WebRTC blocker?

Can WebRTC bypass VPN?
A WebRTC leak is dangerous because the protocol's communication channels bypass your VPN's encrypted tunnel. This exposes your IP address outside of the VPN connection and lets anyone discover your real IP.
What is WebRTC IP handling policy?

How do I know if WebRTC is leaking?
Turn your VPN back on. Open your browser to ExpressVPN'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.
How do I bypass WebRTC?

Similarly, some DNS leaks can expose your original IP address to the DNS server.
