Practical guides for browser fingerprinting and network identity
These guides are written for people who need operational answers: what changed, why it matters, and how to test the next step without guessing.
Check VPN changes with a baseline
Open the leak workspace with the VPN in your initial state. Select active WebRTC only if you agree to contact the disclosed STUN server. Run the check, inspect the observed HTTP exit and candidates, and save a record named VPN off.

Understand browser exposure through measurements
A browser exposes properties such as language, timezone and screen dimensions. Optional APIs also expose rendering and audio outputs. Open an individual test and inspect its source, status and limitation.

Change one privacy setting and measure the result
Decide whether you want to reduce a particular exposed field or diagnose a broken website. There is no population sample in this tool, so it cannot promise a reduction in your percentage uniqueness.

Match a network tool to the task you can test
For a browser-only proxy, inspect the requests it is configured to carry. For a VPN, inspect the connection before and after the tunnel is enabled. For Tor, consult the Tor Browser documentation and its own connection guidance. This guide does not rank the tools by a single safety score.

Understand IP sources and provider risk labels
Enter a single IPv4 or IPv6 address. Private, loopback, link-local and reserved addresses receive local classification instead of being sent to public geolocation providers. A static detail URL keeps its original query object.

IPhey observation methods and compatibility rules
The current workspace uses schema version 2, collector 2.0.0 and rules observations-1. It presents observed values and limitations instead of a population uniqueness percentage or a judgment about a person.
