What is a WebRTC IP leak?
WebRTC is an open source project (webrtc.org - managed by Google WebRTC team) dedicated to streaming the data between devices. WebRTC technology can share your IP even if you are connected to the VPN.

Web browsers and mobile applications use the WebRTC to make the peer-to-peer connectivity. All the modern web browsers has the built in WebRTC. There is one feature of WebRTC, it collects IPs from Network devices directly. So the IP leak may happen. Basically WebRTC operates local IPs only, but it may get the public IP especially when your Network device has assigned IPv6 address or when you have a static IPv4 address.
How does WebRTC work?
According to the official docs the WebRTC API is based on two main javascript methods navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia() and navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia(). The special interface RTCPeerConnection is used to handle the connection. Most of web applications require a server to get it work (more details are available in the WebRTC documentation). During the client - server communication the IP leak may happen.
