Privacy Settings

Control how your P2P connection works to protect your privacy.

Private Mode (TURN-Only)

When enabled, all P2P traffic is routed through the TURN server (relay), preventing the other user from seeing your real IP address.

How to Enable

In the P2P setup dialog, check Privacy relay , or in an active P2P session use the Toggle Privacy Mode item in the P2P menu. The preference is saved and remembered for future sessions. When enabled, the status bar and Stats section show relay/privacy indicators.

Tradeoff

Private mode adds latency because traffic passes through the server. Direct connections (default) are faster but expose your IP to the peer.

Requirements

Private mode requires the TURN server to be configured. If it is not available, you will see a warning and the connection will be direct.
