IP Checker

The rating combines several independent checks — WebRTC leaks, DNS leaks, your IP's reputation, and whether your browser and network report the same operating system. A high score means your real identity is hard to expose; a low score means at least one of these checks is revealing information that can deanonymize you.

A VPN hides your IP address, but it does not automatically fix WebRTC leaks, DNS leaks, or operating-system fingerprint mismatches. If your browser reports Windows while your network packets look like Linux, or if WebRTC exposes your real IP, websites can still flag you as using a proxy or VPN. Your anonymity rating and the list of risks below it show exactly which signals are giving you away.

WebRTC is a browser feature for real-time audio and video. It can ask your device for its real IP address directly, bypassing your VPN or proxy. If a leak is detected, the IP shown is your true public address — websites can read it even when the rest of your connection is hidden.

When you visit a site, your device asks a DNS resolver to translate the domain into an IP address. If those requests go to your real ISP's resolver instead of your VPN's, observers can see every domain you visit and infer your real location, even though your browsing IP looks anonymous.

Your device clock is set to your real time zone. If your IP says you are in the Netherlands but your computer's clock is an hour ahead, that mismatch is a strong hint that you are using a VPN. We flag a difference of one hour or more in time-zone offset as suspicious.

The checks run directly in your browser. To look up your IP, geolocation and to run the DNS and fingerprint tests, your browser queries third-party diagnostic services, so those requests leave your device by design. We do not store the results — nothing you see on this page is saved to a Proxywing account or database.
