WebRTC Protect - Protect IP Leak

WebRTC Protect is a powerful Chrome extension designed to safeguard your online privacy by preventing WebRTC from leaking your private and public IP addresses. It achieves this by configuring how WebRTC's network traffic is routed through your browser and adjusting privacy settings accordingly.

Key features include blocking WebRTC by default, hiding both private and ISP-assigned public IPs, and routing WebRTC traffic through proxy servers to further shield your identity. The extension also limits the WebRTC Media Device Enumeration API to prevent exposure of device details. Users can temporarily enable or disable WebRTC via a convenient toolbar button, allowing flexibility depending on their needs.

By restricting network paths and protocols used by WebRTC, the extension may impact performance on sites using WebRTC for audio, video, or real-time data communication. However, this trade-off ensures enhanced privacy and protection from IP leaks, making WebRTC Protect an essential tool for privacy-conscious users.
