Choose a topic below to move from a question to a relevant guide or browser-based tool. Links are grouped by the kind of task they help with; the labels describe each destination.

Privacy basics and checks

• Check or generate a password locally — review limited password patterns, generate a password or passphrase, and see the assumptions behind estimates.
• Review account privacy basics — organize unique-password and multi-factor-authentication follow-up.
• See what this site's tools process — inspect the documented inputs, browser processing, requests, and storage for the interactive tools.
• Understand Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite cookie attributes.
• Review MFA and recovery steps for a VPN account without entering account details or recovery codes.
• Learn what a browser fingerprint check can show.

IP addresses and DNS

• Check the public IP address seen by this browser — the page explains its request and limits.
• Compare a VPN exit location with a website location, understand IP geolocation estimates, and look up public IP registration data.
• Distinguish public IPv4, private IPv4, and CGNAT shared address space.
• Calculate an IPv4 subnet or validate and normalize an IPv6 address. For VPN routing, see what an IPv6 browser check can show.
• Interpret a DNS leak test, understand DNS results after disconnecting a VPN, and compare Android Private DNS with VPN DNS handling.
• Compare DNS over HTTPS with VPN routing.

Device and connection settings

• Set up and understand Android Always-on VPN.
• Find always-on VPN options across iPhone and Android.
• Compare documented Android and iPhone disconnect controls; see Windows VPN disconnect protection.
• Understand VPN kill-switch behavior and cautious checks.
• Compare VPN app and browser-extension coverage, and understand what app-based split tunneling changes.
• Understand Windows VPN route-based split tunneling and how it differs from app-level controls.
• Troubleshoot a local printer or NAS blocked while a VPN is connected, including LAN-access settings, device names, and remote home VPNs.
• Troubleshoot VPN and Wi-Fi connection problems or use the public Wi-Fi privacy checklist.
• Choose VPN auto-connect and trusted Wi-Fi settings across iPhone, Android, and provider apps, with captive-portal and managed-device tradeoffs.
• Check which device's traffic uses a VPN over a mobile hotspot and what the carrier, phone, and tethered device may observe.

VPN scope and provider decisions

• Check IPv6 behavior while connected to a VPN — compare browser results and understand the limits of the check.
• Compare a work or school VPN with a consumer VPN service — distinguish organization-resource access, managed routes, and a personal provider’s internet exit path.
• Choose a smart-TV VPN app or router setup — compare device app support, router-client compatibility, traffic scope, and recovery.
• Troubleshoot VPN routing and NAT issues on Xbox or PlayStation — check service status, the console's own test, multiple NAT routers, and provider-specific VPN behavior without opening ports blindly.
• Understand VPN-provider port forwarding, home-router forwarding, and remote-access VPN differences before exposing an inbound service.
• Choose a way to reach home devices behind CGNAT — compare an ISP-provided reachable address, an outbound-initiated private mesh, IPv6 where available, and a self-managed relay.
• Compare dedicated and shared VPN exit IPs for stable allowlists, access friction, and the privacy tradeoff of a persistent address.
• Compare iCloud Private Relay with a VPN by covered traffic, observers, and compatibility.
• Choose an observer and information to protect with the threat-model tool; then review the VPN visibility guide or visibility matrix.
• Check whether a VPN fits your stated goal, compare repeated VPN speed results with medians and test-condition notes, or estimate a data usage scenario from your own baseline and percentage assumption.
• Record a VPN renewal and cancellation — identify the billing channel, save confirmation, and check later statements; see the cost calculator for entered plan terms.
• Compare a VPN free plan, free trial, and money-back guarantee — check current provider examples, payment-channel rules, and refund exclusions before paying.
• Compare household people and simultaneous device needs, then review VPN comparison criteria and compare a plan's upfront and renewal cost from terms you enter, including how to examine a no-logs claim and the free VPN privacy checklist.
• Compare a VPN family plan with a shared login — distinguish separate member accounts from device and simultaneous-connection limits.
• Decide whether VPN multihop or double VPN fits your risk — understand entry and exit servers, provider trust, and latency tradeoffs.
• Compare WireGuard and OpenVPN documentation without a speed ranking, and troubleshoot OpenVPN login credentials; read how Tor and VPN routing differ.
• Read the scoped FTC privacy-claims case explainer; it does not establish whether a VPN provider keeps logs.
