What is a WebRTC Leak?
A WebRTC leak is when a flaw in the WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) protocol inadvertently exposes your real ip address, even if you are using a VPN. This can occur during peer-to-peer communications, where WebRTC is used to establish direct connections between browsers. If not properly secured, a WebRTC leak can compromise your online privacy by revealing your actual location to third parties.
