What this site sees about you

Live · 1 origin · 0 stored

Your address, whether your VPN and DNS actually hide you, and the fingerprint your browser leaves behind — measured by this page alone. No third parties. No prompts. Nothing stored.

Common questions

Is my VPN actually working?

The verdict at the top compares three things a VPN should change: the network your IP belongs to, the time zone your browser reports, and where your DNS queries go. Toggle the VPN, press Re-run check, and watch exactly what changed.

What is a DNS leak?

A VPN can hide your address while your DNS lookups still go to your ISP — which then sees every site you visit. This page resolves a name that only its own nameserver answers for, so it can tell you precisely who asked. Run the leak checks

What is a browser fingerprint?

Canvas, WebGL, audio, fonts, screen and hardware details combine into a hash that can recognise your browser without a single cookie. You get the hash and every component that feeds it, so nothing is a black box. See yours

Is anything stored?

No. The report is computed for this visit and discarded. The server keeps ordinary access logs, like every web server — address, time, path — and nothing else. Nothing is shared with anyone.

Can I use it from a terminal?

curl wget.me prints your IP. /check is the VPN verdict, /dns the leak test, /port/22 a port check on your own address, /8.8.8.8 looks up any address. Output formats are frozen, so your scripts keep working. Terminal & API

Why trust the numbers?

Every row says where it came from, how reliable it is, and what it means. Guesses are labelled as guesses with a confidence, masked values stay masked until you reveal them, and the raw data behind any row is one tap away. Open the full report

What this is

A live answer to “what does a website learn about me just by being visited?” — the same information any site could gather, laid out with its source, its reliability and its meaning. It measures rather than dramatises: guesses are labelled as guesses, and nothing is inflated to look alarming.

How it works

  1. The server layer. To serve any page at all, this server necessarily receives your public IP address, request headers and connection details. Those rows are marked server.
  2. The browser layer. The page’s own JavaScript reads what your browser exposes to every website automatically — screen, language, hardware hints, graphics, fonts, audio and more — and runs a few same-origin tests (canvas rendering, a bait script for content blockers, a DNS lookup that only our own nameserver answers). Those rows are marked js.
  3. The verdicts. The Overview combines rows into answers: is this a VPN or relay, where does your DNS go, how automated does the client look, what fingerprint does it leave. Each verdict lists the signals it used.

Reading a row

The leak checks

Where the data comes from

Location and network-operator rows use database files stored on this server — MaxMind GeoLite2 (refreshed twice a week) with DB-IP Lite as a fallback — plus Apple’s published list of Private Relay egress ranges. Lookups never leave the server; no external IP service is ever queried about you. The footer names the database in use. IP geolocation is city-level at best and can be wrong, which is why those rows say “approximate”.

What this page never does

What a web page cannot read

Despite what some sites imply, JavaScript on a page cannot read your MAC address, IMEI or serial numbers, your Wi-Fi password, arbitrary files, saved passwords, other sites’ cookies or storage, your browsing history, other tabs, your name, or a complete list of installed apps and extensions. Where browsers leak indirect clues, this report labels them as inference, never as fact.

What is logged

The web server keeps standard access logs (source IP address, request time, URL, status, browser User-Agent and referrer). They are rotated daily and retained. The inspector application itself stores nothing. The DNS test nameserver keeps a short rolling log of the random names it answered and the resolver addresses that asked — that is how the leak test works. A passive observer on this server keeps a similar rolling log of the first packets of connections to this site only (the TCP handshake and the plaintext TLS ClientHello — nothing is decrypted), so the “wire” rows can be shown back to the connection they belong to. Neither log identifies you beyond the connection you are looking at, and both truncate themselves.

About fingerprints

The hashes in the Fingerprinting section summarise measurements taken during this visit. Another site running similar tests could recognise a similar browser configuration, which is why they are shown. Without a population to compare against, no result can be called “unique”, so this page does not.

From a terminal

Everything here is also available as plain text: curl wget.me prints your IP, /check the VPN verdict, /dns the leak test. See the full reference — output formats are frozen, so scripts keep working.
