What we know about you, which is not much.

Visitors

There are no accounts and no sign-up. Your browser stores your light or dark theme choice, and Google Analytics sets its own cookies so we can see how many people use the checker and which pages they reach. We do not run advertising trackers and we do not sell anything about you.

Your IP address is used to enforce rate limits. It is stored as a truncated one-way hash next to each run, so we can spot abuse without keeping the address itself.

Checks

Check results (addresses, ports, protocols, timings and the network lookup of the exit address) are retained to operate and improve the service, including any credentials supplied with a proxy, which are stored encrypted.

Exit addresses are sent to a third-party IP intelligence provider to resolve country and network type.
