WebRTC Network Limiter

Configures how WebRTC's network traffic is routed by changing Chrome's privacy settings.

WebRTC Network Limiter - Manage WebRTC's Network Traffic

WebRTC Network Limiter is a Chrome extension that provides users with the ability to configure how WebRTC's network traffic is routed. With this extension, users can prevent WebRTC from using certain IP addresses or protocols that are not visible to the public internet or those not used for web traffic. Additionally, the extension can force WebRTC traffic to go through proxy servers, effectively disabling UDP until UDP proxy support is in place. It's important to note that using WebRTC Network Limiter could impact the performance of apps that utilize WebRTC for real-time communication.

User reviews

Finally, the new version works. The old version didn't work so I used the third-party extension. Now I'm using the official extension by Google to prevent the webrtc leak.

It gets the job done (https://browserleaks.com/webrtc doesn't complain), but it's weird in 2025 many proxy/vpn extensions require it if you want to avoid WebRTC leaks

works!
