<strong>WebRTC is a new communication protocol that relies on JavaScript that can leak your actual IP address from behind your VPN.</strong>

<p>While software like NoScript prevents this, it's probably a good idea to block this protocol directly as well, just to be safe.</p>

<h3>How to fix the WebRTC Leak in Google Chrome?</h3>
<h3>How to disable WebRTC in Safari?</h3>
<p>Safari is far stricter with WebRTC than other major browsers, and it does not leak your IP address in its default configuration. If you'd like, you can follow these steps just to double-check your browser:</p>
<ol class="long-string-list">
<li>Choose "Preferences" under the Safari menu in your menu bar.</li>
<li>Select the Advanced tab and check the "Show Develop menu in menu bar" box.</li>
<li>Exit Preferences and open the Develop menu in your menu bar.</li>
<li>In the drop-down menu, open the "WebRTC" submenu and ensure "Enable Legacy WebRTC API" is unchecked. If it's grayed out, even better.</li>
</ol>
<h3>How to disable WebRTC in Google Chrome?</h3>
<p>WebRTC cannot be fully disabled in Chrome; however, it is possible to change its routing settings (and prevent leaks) using an extension. Two open-source solutions include <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webrtc-leak-prevent/eiadekoaikejlgdbkbdfeijglgfdalml">WebRTC Leak Prevent</a> (options may need to be changed depending on the scenario), and <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm">uBlock Origin</a> (select "Prevent WebRTC from leaking local IP addresses" in Settings).</p>
<h3>What about other browsers?</h3>
<p>Chrome on iOS, Internet Explorer and Safari does not implement WebRTC yet. <a href="#browser"><i class="fas fa-link"></i> But we recommend using Firefox on all devices.</a></p>
