A web page that runs 86 browser and network checks when you open it and writes up what a website can learn about you, such as location, device, language and fingerprint. It also compares the results against each other to show whether a VPN or proxy setup gives itself away.

Hidden gemIt's a browser privacy self-check that runs 86 checks and cross-checks them the way a site would, to show whether a VPN or proxy setup gives itself away (time zone, language, DNS, WebRTC and so on). Each failing check comes with a specific fix tip, and there is a live site, so it's useful for anyone who needs to see how their setup looks to a website. Best for people using VPNs or proxies who want to check what sites infer.

New and promisingUnder two months old. Expect rough edges and fast changes.

What you can do with it

Check for DNS and WebRTC leaks that reveal your real location behind a VPN or proxy
See your browser fingerprint and whether it stays stable or is randomised between visits
Get an A–F grade on your environment with tips to fix mismatches such as time zone or language

Make money with it

A freelancer could offer privacy or network set-up audits, using the report and its fix tips to check and tidy a client's VPN or browser configuration.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

Check that staff or remote workers using a VPN or proxy are not leaking their real location or DNS before they access region-restricted services
Test the browser setups used for managing several client or regional accounts to see whether they look consistent or suspicious to websites

Can you use it commercially?

Getting it running

Open the hosted page at who.1ms.dog in a browser; self-hosting would mean deploying it as a Cloudflare Worker, though the README excerpt gives no deployment steps.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

The page contacts several outside services directly (such as IPIP.NET, IP.SB and Cloudflare), which see your IP address
Hosted version depends on Cloudflare Workers, so self-hosting needs a Cloudflare account
README is truncated, so the privacy details and deployment steps are not fully visible
