What is WebRTC?
WebRTC or Web Real-Time Communication gives web browsers the power to communicate directly without a third-party server. This means faster speeds and response times when browsing the internet. This is important for things such as live streaming on services like Twitch, or any other service that relies on speed and ping times.
What is a WebRTC leak?
In order for WebRTC to work, it needs to know your public IP address. It uses your IP address so that it can identify each client in a WebRTC interaction. Without the use of hide.me VPN, it could be the case that your real IP address is being leaked to websites, and this could be to malicious sites, and you would be none the wiser.

If they don’t then you can be safe in the knowledge that your IP address is not being leaked. hide.me VPN helps combat WebRTC leaks, so when you use our browser extensions, you can be safe in the knowledge that your privacy is intact.
