WebRTC Protect - Secure Your IP Addresses

WebRTC Protect is a Chrome extension designed to safeguard your private and public IP addresses from WebRTC leaks. By configuring how WebRTC network traffic is routed and adjusting browser privacy settings, it prevents inadvertent exposure of your IP information during real-time communication sessions.

Key Features:

Hides private IP addresses from the public internet
Conceals your public IP addresses, including VPN ISP addresses
Routes WebRTC traffic through proxy servers, disabling non-proxied UDP if necessary
Controls WebRTC Media Device Enumeration API to return no device data by default

Users can temporarily enable or disable WebRTC access via the toolbar button to balance between privacy and the performance of real-time web applications. This extension is especially useful for users concerned about IP address leaks through WebRTC, enhancing overall online privacy and security.

A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
