Geolocation Leak Test
This test checks if the browser's Geolocation API can access your real physical location. When using a VPN, your IP location may show a different country, but the Geolocation API (GPS/WiFi/Cell) can reveal where you actually are.
Your browser will ask for location permission
How does this leak work?
The browser's navigator.geolocation API uses multiple methods to determine your location:
- GPS — Most accurate, reveals exact location (mobile devices)
- WiFi — Triangulates using nearby WiFi networks (desktop & mobile)
- Cell Tower — Uses mobile network cell IDs
- IP-based — Least accurate, but even this can leak if VPN is misconfigured
A VPN only masks your IP address. GPS and WiFi positioning work independently and will reveal your real location regardless of VPN. The only protection is to deny location permission in your browser.
