What does your connection reveal?
Your address, roughly where it is, your network, and whether your browser leaks more than you think.
What this page can see
Your connection, as websites see it
| Your IP address | 100.127.6.9 |
|---|---|
| Location | Your address is a private one, so it has no public location. |
Checked on your device
- WebRTC address leak. Needs JavaScript. With it on, your browser asks a public STUN server (Cloudflare's) for your address, the way video calls do, and we compare the answer with the address above.
- Time zone. Needs JavaScript. Compares your device's time zone with the country your address is in.
Desktop Chrome and Brave hide your local network address behind a random name. Chrome and Firefox on Android can still show local or carrier addresses. A STUN request can show your real public address when a VPN does not carry WebRTC traffic.
What to do
- Every website you visit sees your address and roughly where it is. That is normal: it is how pages reach you.
- To hide your address from websites, use a reputable VPN, then load this page again with it on and compare.
- If you use a VPN, turn on its WebRTC leak protection (or its "kill switch") so your browser cannot go around it.
Small things that help
- Fitness apps share where you run. In Strava, set a privacy zone around your home and make activities visible to followers only.
- In California, you can ask every registered data broker to delete your data in one request: the state's DROP service.
