No IPv6 Leak Detected

No IPv6 address was detected from your connection — your tunnel appears clean. If you are using a VPN, this is a good sign that IPv6 traffic is properly contained.

Why Your IP Address Matters

Every device online broadcasts an IP address. Here is what that exposes about you.

Websites Track Your IP

Every site you visit logs your IP address. This data can be sold to data brokers, used for ad targeting, or handed to authorities on request — all without your consent.

Your ISP Monitors You

Your Internet Service Provider can see every domain you visit, when you visit it, and for how long. In many countries, ISPs are legally required to retain this data for months or years.

Advertisers Build Profiles

Ad networks combine your IP address with cookies, browser fingerprinting, and browsing history to create a detailed profile of who you are — even across incognito sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about IP addresses and online privacy.

What is an IP address?
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to the internet. It works like a postal address, allowing websites and services to know where to send data. Your IP address can reveal your approximate location, internet service provider, and more.
Can websites see my real IP address?
Yes. Every website you visit automatically receives your public IP address as part of the connection process. This information can be logged, analysed, and used to track your browsing habits, serve targeted advertising, or block access to geo-restricted content.
How do I hide my IP address?
The most effective way to hide your IP address is to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network). A VPN routes your traffic through a server in another location, so websites see the VPN server's IP instead of yours. NovaBridgeVPN offers a free plan with no credit card required.
What is a VPN and how does it hide my IP?
A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and a VPN server. When you connect, all your internet traffic passes through that server, masking your real IP address with the server's IP. This prevents your ISP, advertisers, and websites from tracking your real location and identity.
Is my IPv6 address leaking?
IPv6 leaks occur when your device has an IPv6 address and your VPN only tunnels IPv4 traffic, exposing your real identity through the IPv6 path. A good VPN like NovaBridgeVPN tunnels both IPv4 and IPv6. The IPv6 Leak Check above shows your current status.
What does my IP address reveal about me?
Your IP address can reveal your approximate city and region, your internet service provider (ISP), the organisation or network you are on, and your timezone. Advertisers and data brokers can combine this with other signals to build a detailed profile of your browsing behaviour.
Is it legal to hide my IP address?
Yes, using a VPN to hide your IP address is legal in the vast majority of countries, including the UK, US, EU, Canada, and Australia. VPNs are widely used by individuals, businesses, and remote workers to protect privacy and secure communications. Always use VPN services responsibly within local laws.
