Ever wonder how apps can guess your location, even when you deny location permissions? GeoLeaks shows you how!
This app is an educational tool that scans and displays the hidden device and network signals any app can access without special permissions. It demonstrates how your digital fingerprint can reveal your location, network provider, and more, helping you understand the importance of digital privacy.
WHAT IT CHECKS:
• Public IP & Network: Your IP address, network carrier, ASN, and connection type (Wi-Fi/Cellular).
• CDN Fingerprinting: Determines the closest server hubs for major CDNs (like Cloudflare & AWS), often revealing your city or region.
• Latency Triangulation: Measures connection speed to servers worldwide to estimate your position on the globe.
• Device Settings: Analyzes your device's language, time zone, currency, and regional formats for location clues.
• Hardware & SIM: Reads your device model, carrier details, and radio technology.
• LAN & DNS: Probes your local network and checks for reverse DNS names that can identify your ISP.
PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN:
GeoLeaks is a read-only diagnostic tool. All information is displayed only to you, on your device. Nothing is ever collected, stored, or shared. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge.
