ISP Leak & Blocking Detector

Find out whether your internet provider can see past your VPN, and whether it is quietly blocking websites on your connection.

1 Your connection

The address the internet sees, and the network that owns it.

216.73.216.145
Provider
Amazon.com, Inc.
Network
AS16509
Country
United States
You appear to be on a VPN, proxy or hosting network, so websites see Amazon.com, Inc., not your home provider.

2 WebRTC leak

Video-calling features in your browser can reveal your real address even when a VPN is on.

3 Blocked websites

Each site is checked by our server, outside your provider's network, and by your browser. If we can reach it and you can't, your network is blocking it.

This test makes your browser try to connect to sites that UK providers block, such as file-sharing sites. Nothing is downloaded, but the attempts may appear in your provider's or employer's logs.

4 Browser fingerprint

A VPN hides your IP address, but not your browser. Your graphics card, fonts, screen, time zone and extensions form a fingerprint that websites can use to recognise you, even in a private window or on a VPN.

5 DNS leak

Even with a VPN, your device may still ask your provider's DNS servers to look up every site you visit, which tells them where you go.

How the tests work

  • WebRTC: your browser asks STUN servers run by Google and Cloudflare what address it appears to have. If that differs from your connection address, traffic is escaping your VPN.
  • Blocked sites: a connection that fails from your browser but works from our server points to a block on your network. Control sites that are never blocked confirm the test itself is working.
  • We never download or store content from the tested sites. It's the same as checking whether a phone line connects.

Reading the results honestly

A failed browser connection is a strong hint, not proof. Ad blockers, security software and sites that refuse automated checks can also cause failures, so open a flagged site in a new tab to confirm. Some providers show a block page instead of cutting the connection, which this test can't see. Modern browsers also hide local addresses behind random .local names, which is good for your privacy.

How do I stop a WebRTC leak?

Turn on your VPN's WebRTC or leak protection. In Firefox you can set media.peerconnection.enabled to false in about:config. In Chrome and Edge, use your VPN's browser extension or a WebRTC-limiting extension.

Is it legal for my ISP to block websites?

Yes. UK providers block sites under High Court orders (mostly copyright infringement), sanctions and, optionally, parental-control filters you can switch off in your account.
