How the score works.

The score is an educational privacy-posture indicator—not a security certification, anonymity guarantee, or vulnerability audit.

Network observations

Our server observes the address used to connect and checks its IP version. A metadata lookup estimates country, ASN, network operator, and whether public data sources associate the address with a VPN, proxy, Tor, hosting network, or abusive activity. These classifications are probabilistic.

Browser observations

JavaScript checks whether HTTPS is active, Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track are enabled, cookies are available, WebRTC exposes a literal private address, and common high-entropy browser surfaces are available. The test records no reusable browser fingerprint.

Scoring model

The model begins from a neutral baseline and is capped between 0 and 100. A higher score means fewer obvious signals in this limited test. It does not mean a user is anonymous.

Personas

• The Glass House: score under 40
• The Tourist: score 40–74 without a VPN/proxy/Tor indicator
• The Nomad: score 60–89 with a VPN/proxy/Tor indicator
• The Ghost: score 75–89 when the wider signal mix is strongly privacy-oriented
• The Fortress: score 90–100

Known limitations

Modern browsers often replace local WebRTC addresses with mDNS names, which is good but not conclusive. VPN databases can lag. Corporate gateways and mobile carriers can resemble proxies. Browser settings can change between private and normal windows. The test does not inspect extensions, malware, DNS resolvers, account tracking, or operating-system configuration.
