About Privacy & Anonymity Testing Suite
What is this tool?
The Privacy Testing Suite evaluates your browser and network connection for leaks that could compromise your anonymity. It includes tests for WebRTC leaks, DNS leaks, and advanced browser fingerprinting.
Even when using a VPN, your browser might inadvertently leak your true IP address through WebRTC (a real-time communication protocol) or route DNS queries outside the encrypted tunnel. This tool helps you verify if your setup is truly secure.
How to use
- WebRTC Leak: Click "Run WebRTC Test" to see if your browser exposes your local or public IP address bypassing your VPN.
- DNS Leak: Tests whether your DNS requests are leaking to your ISP instead of using your VPN's secure resolvers.
- Fingerprint: Generates a unique hash based on your browser's specific hardware and software configuration (Canvas, WebGL, Fonts).
Why is it important?
Maintaining online privacy requires ensuring that your tools (VPNs, Tor, privacy browsers) are configured correctly and not leaking data.
- Verify VPN Configurations: A VPN is useless if it suffers from a DNS leak. This tool provides visual confirmation that all traffic is secure.
- Understand Tracking: Browser fingerprinting allows advertisers to track you across the web even if you clear your cookies. See exactly what data your browser is volunteering.
- Secure Communications: Ensure that WebRTC (used by Zoom and Google Meet) isn't compromising your physical location.
