- The starting point
- What do a browser and connection reveal, and which services are contacted during a check?
- The approach
- A scan started explicitly by the user combines IP, VPN, WebRTC, fingerprint and network checks and explains the services involved.
- My work on it
- The independently hosted web app, its scan flow and a transparent explanation of the queries before starting.
The project in detail
Shows what a browser reveals: the public IP address and what can be looked up about it, whether a connection resembles a VPN or data centre, whether WebRTC exposes a local or actual address outside the tunnel, and how distinctive the browser fingerprint is.
The scan only runs when started explicitly and stores nothing: no account, no database and no access logs.
