FULL BORDER CHECK · FREE · NO ACCOUNT NEEDED
Run every border check at once.
Quick answer: The full border check runs five checks at once: your public IP address and its location and network, WebRTC leaks, DNS leaks, your browser's request headers, and whether your device time zone matches your IP. You get a connection passport with one stamp per check. Nothing is stored.
One button tests your IP address, WebRTC, DNS, request headers and time zone, then stamps your passport. The image is made in your browser and never stored.
Runs five checks at once in your browser. The WebRTC check contacts Google and Cloudflare STUN servers, and the DNS check makes six lookups under dnstest.globeproxy.com. Nothing you see here is saved.
What the full border check does
The full border check runs five checks together, so you do not have to open each tool one by one. It reads your public IP address and the approximate place and network behind it, tests whether WebRTC exposes a different address, tests which DNS servers answer your lookups, looks at the headers your browser sends, and compares your device's time zone with the one your IP points to.
When the checks finish, you get a connection passport: your details, one stamp per check, and a one-line explanation of anything that looks off. If a check cannot finish, it is stamped NOT CHECKED and the rest of the result still appears.
What each stamp means
- WebRTC. SEALED means your browser exposed no public address other than the one websites see, or only addresses on the same network. LEAK FOUND means it exposed an address on a different network.
- DNS. CLEAN means the resolvers that answered are not obviously tied to your internet provider. YOUR PROVIDER SEES LOOKUPS means your provider's own DNS answered. LEAK means your traffic exits through a hosting network while a home or mobile provider answers DNS.
- Headers. REVEALING means your requests carry headers that a proxy adds, such as Via or X-Forwarded-For. CLEAN means none were found. Ordinary details such as your language and browser are always shared.
- Network. HOME means your IP belongs to a network that is not on our list of hosting providers. DATACENTER means it belongs to a well-known hosting or cloud company.
- Time zone. MATCHES or MISMATCH compares your browser's time zone with the one estimated from your IP location. A mismatch is a common sign that a VPN or proxy is in use.
What this check cannot tell you
The network stamp is a simple comparison with a list of well-known hosting, cloud and VPN networks and the Tor exit list. It is not full VPN or proxy detection. Many VPNs and proxies use addresses that are not on the list, and some ordinary business networks are. IP locations and the time zone derived from them are estimates, and a clean result does not mean you are anonymous.
A passing result also depends on when you run it. If you switch a VPN on or off, change servers or change DNS settings, run the check again.
Sharing your passport safely
Download passport draws the image in your browser and saves it to your device. By default the image and the copied summary hide most of your IP address and your city, so you can post it without giving your location away. Untick the box if you want the full details. GlobeProxy never receives the image and does not create share links.
Frequently asked questions
Is the full border check free?
Yes. It is free, needs no account, and has no sign-up step.
Does GlobeProxy store my result or my passport image?
No. The image is generated in your browser and is not uploaded. The checks use the same requests as the individual tools, and results are not saved to a database.
Does the border check tell me if I am using a VPN?
Not reliably. It flags networks that belong to well-known hosting companies and a time zone mismatch, which are hints. Dedicated VPN and proxy detection is not part of this check.
Why did a check say NOT CHECKED?
A check can fail if your browser blocks it, a network request times out, or the DNS test service returns no report. The other checks still count, and you can run the border check again.
Why does my DNS stamp say my provider sees lookups?
The DNS servers that answered your browser belong to the same company as your internet connection. That is normal without a VPN. It matters if you expected a VPN or proxy to handle DNS.
Which third parties does the check contact?
Only the Google and Cloudflare STUN servers used by the WebRTC check, as in the standalone WebRTC test. Everything else goes to globeproxy.com.
