Comparing IP location with browser signals
Websites can detect VPN and proxy usage by comparing your IP-based location with browser signals like timezone and language settings. A mismatch reveals that you're masking your true location.
Your browser exposes timezone, language preferences, and locale settings. Websites compare these with your IP's geolocation to detect inconsistencies that indicate proxy or VPN use.
Platforms use geo-mismatch detection to flag accounts. If your VPN says you're in Germany but your browser timezone is set to New York, automated systems may restrict or ban your account.
Using a VPN without changing your timezone, having English as your primary language while connecting from a non-English country, or locale settings that don't match your IP location.
Match your browser timezone to your IP location, use appropriate language settings, and ensure your locale reflects your apparent location. Some browser profiles handle this automatically.
Note for travelers: Partial mismatches are common when traveling internationally. This doesn't necessarily indicate VPN usage - just that your device settings don't match your current location.
Check if your IP is mobile, residential, datacenter, or VPN. See your location, carrier, and ASN.
See how unique and trackable your browser is. Check canvas, WebGL, fonts, and more.
Check if WebRTC is leaking your real IP address even when using a VPN or proxy.
