WebRTC Leak Shield is a vital Chrome extension designed to enhance your online privacy by disabling WebRTC and preventing IP leaks. While VPNs mask your IP address, they often cannot stop leaks caused by the WebRTC protocol. This extension acts as an essential safeguard ensuring that your real IP address remains hidden, strengthening your internet security.

By integrating WebRTC Leak Shield, users gain peace of mind knowing their IP information won't be inadvertently exposed through WebRTC vulnerabilities. Whether you're a privacy-conscious user or rely on VPNs, this add-on fills a critical security gap, making it a must-have tool to protect your digital footprint effectively.

Working perfectly, Excellent Addon.

Seems to have been doing the job well & my browser add-ons (both Bing, Google & Vivaldi are lit up as though Christmas trees! Yet WebRTC Leak Shield, just as the rest, was carefully picked out & installed. Most all of mine are typically security "blockers", those which fights ads & cookies & having the ability to make calls from most, although prefer to use mic only. Anyway, have been using WebRTC Leak Shield for over 3 years and no issues, so highly recommended by me!
