I built a privacy tool that shows everything websites know about you — here's how it's going
A few months ago I was trying to check if my VPN was actually working. I ended up with 5 different tabs open — one for IP, one for DNS leaks, one for WebRTC, one for browser fingerprint, one for GPU info.
It was frustrating. So I built one page that does all of it.
What it does:
- Shows your real IP (IPv4 + IPv6)
- Tests for DNS leaks, WebRTC leaks, and IPv6 leaks
- Reveals your browser fingerprint — fonts, GPU, screen
resolution, CPU cores, device memory
- Detects VPN/proxy/Tor
- Port scanner, speed test, email breach check
Everything in one place, no signup required.
Where I'm at:
- Revenue: $0 (affiliate links for VPN providers, but no conversions yet)
- Traffic: 16 clicks from Google in the last 28 days — small but moving
- Built with vanilla HTML/CSS/JS — no framework, fast load times
What's working:
Answering questions on Quora with a link to the tool as a source. Getting some organic clicks from that.
What I'm struggling with:
Scaling traffic beyond SEO. The tool works well but I'm not sure what features users actually want next.
If you've used tools like this before — what was missing?
What would make you come back or share it with someone?
