We show ordinary people what their internet connection already reveals about them, and what closes the gap.
NetworkSignalVPN started because the honest answer to a question like "can the wifi owner see what I searched" is buried under jargon, sales pages and forum threads that contradict each other. We wanted one place that answers it plainly and then shows you the evidence on your own device.
The site is run by a small editorial team that writes the guides and maintains the interactive checks. We are not a VPN company. We do not operate servers and we do not sell software of our own.
Your public address, your DNS resolvers, your browser leak status and your password strength, tested in your own browser.
Guides that answer one question at a time, without assuming you already know what a resolver or a tunnel is.
A single service we point readers to, rather than a list of ten with no opinion attached.
Everything on the home page runs client side, in your browser. Your public address is looked up by your own device from a public address service. The DNS test sends a small number of randomised lookups from your browser and then reads back which resolvers answered them. The password field asks for a lookalike rather than a real password, is not inside a form and has no submit button, so what you type is scored on your device and never transmitted.
None of these results are stored by NetworkSignalVPN. We do not keep a record of your address, your resolvers, or anything you type into the password field.
The counter on the home page is a fixed rate counter that starts when the page loads. It is labelled directly beneath itself as an illustrative running estimate, not a feed of verified incidents, because that is what it is.
We recommend a product when it closes a gap the site actually tests for. NordVPN is the service we point readers to because it encrypts device traffic so the network owner and the internet provider see the tunnel rather than the sites you visit, because it runs its own DNS resolvers, which is the specific fix for the leak our checker tests, and because it includes a kill switch that stops traffic if the connection drops.
We earn a commission when a reader buys a subscription through one of our links, at no extra cost to the reader. That is how the site is funded. It does not change what the checks report, and a failed check on this site is a genuine result rather than a sales device.
We do not invent statistics, we do not publish fabricated reviews or testimonials, and we do not make claims about income or guaranteed safety. No tool, including a VPN, makes anyone anonymous or immune to every threat.
The blog is organised around the four questions readers arrive with.
Run the four checks and see which gaps are open on the device you are reading this on.
