# WebRTC Loopback Test: Local ICE Gathering

Two local peer connections over a data channel: no media, no servers, ICE candidates disclosed before you run.
local loopback only · no STUN/TURN, no media · every connection closed on StopRun loopback test

Gathering ICE candidates enumerates network interfaces; host candidates carry your LAN addresses and mDNS names. Nothing leaves this tab: the second connection is another object in the same page, and only a USER-CLICKED run gathers anything.

This is a loopback test: two RTCPeerConnection objects in this page negotiate with each other over a data channel. No media is captured, no STUN/TURN server is configured, and no packet ever leaves the machine.
I understand ICE gathering lists my local network interfaces; nothing leaves this tab.

- Gathering ICE candidates enumerates network interfaces; host candidates carry your LAN addresses and mDNS names. Nothing leaves this tab: the second connection is another object in the same page, and only a USER-CLICKED run gathers anything.

- Close releases both connections and every transport; the candidate list lives in page memory only. The active indicator goes dark the moment the run ends; an idle page here holds zero WebRTC state.
- The acknowledge checkbox is the plan’s pre-run disclosure gate: the run button stays disabled until you have read what candidate gathering means.
