What does this mean?
WebRTC is the browser technology behind video calls. For it, the browser discovers your addresses itself, bypassing a VPN tunnel. If the address here matches the one above, WebRTC reveals nothing new. If it differs, a website can see your real address despite the VPN.
Ad blocker: we check whether your browser blocks a file with a typical ad name from our own server. Blockers in the router or DNS are not detected this way. Tracking opt-out: a signal your browser sends to tell websites you do not want to be tracked. Canvas fingerprint: websites can make your browser draw an invisible image; the result differs per device and is used to recognise you. Some browsers randomise or block it.

What is an IP address?
An IP address is the return address of your internet connection. Every server you contact needs it to reply to you. It is assigned by your provider and changes regularly on many home connections.
Can I be located by my IP address?
Only roughly. Databases map address ranges to a region, often 20 to 50 km off. Only your provider knows your street address, and it is released only on an official order.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses are scarce, so many devices often share one. IPv6 has enough addresses for every device. Most connections use both today; this page shows both if your connection has them.
