Every interaction between a client device and a server generates a complex trail of metadata. This "digital footprint" is composed of two primary categories: Passive Network Signals and Active Browser Fingerprints.

The data displayed above is a real-time aggregation of these signals, revealing exactly what advertising networks, fraud detection systems, and potential threat actors can see about you the moment you land on a webpage.

IPv4 vs IPv6: Most of the web still relies on IPv4 (32-bit), but the exhaustion of addresses is driving IPv6 adoption. Your dashboard indicates which protocol was prioritized.

Accuracy: Geolocation relies on databases mapping IP blocks to physical locations. While country-level accuracy is >99%, city-level accuracy varies. Mobile networks and satellite internet (like Starlink) often route traffic through centralized gateways far from your actual location.

Canvas Fingerprinting: Forces the browser to render a hidden image. Subtle differences in OS, font rendering, and GPU drivers produce unique pixel data, creating a persistent "hash" even if cookies are cleared.

WebGL Telemetry: Queries the GPU vendor and renderer (e.g., "NVIDIA RTX 3080"). Combined with screen resolution and color depth, this drastically narrows down your anonymity set.

Residential vs. Datacenter:
• Residential (Comcast, BT): Trusted. Assumed human.
• Hosting (AWS, DigitalOcean): High risk. Often VPNs/bots.

BGP Routing: The Border Gateway Protocol determines your data's path. Anomalies can indicate "BGP Hijacking," where traffic is maliciously rerouted through compromised networks.

WebRTC Leaks: The protocol used for video chat can query local network interfaces, potentially revealing your real LAN or public IP, bypassing VPN tunnels.

DNS Leaks: If your VPN doesn't force secure DNS, your computer may still query your ISP's DNS servers. This allows your ISP to see every domain you visit, even if the content is encrypted.

The "Fraud Score" considers:

• Proxy Detection: Open ports (8080, 3128) or headers.
• Blacklists: Reports on Spamhaus/AbuseIPDB.
• Velocity: Abnormal request rates.
• Timezone: Mismatches between system time and IP location.

Achieving total anonymity is difficult, but you can reduce exposure:

• Use a Reputable VPN: strict "no-logs" policy.
• Browser Hardening: Firefox/Brave with "Strict" protection.
• Canvas Blocking: Extensions to add noise to fingerprints.

• User-Agent Spoofing: Rotate strings to prevent categorization.
• Disable 3rd-Party Cookies: Essential to stop cross-site tracking pixels.

IP address 81.97.68.1 is operated by Virgin Media whose web traffic we consider to present a potentially low fraud risk. Non-web traffic may present a different risk or no risk at all. We see low levels of traffic from this ISP across our global network.
