Quantum test
Is your connection quantum-safe?
This page checks whether your browser and the server agreed on the encryption key with a method that, as far as anyone knows today, not even a future quantum computer can break. wi24rd.com and myip.wi24rd.com offer it to everyone – it only depends on your browser.
Measuring …
What is a quantum computer – and why does it matter to you?
A quantum computer is a new kind of computer that calculates in a completely different way from your PC. For most tasks it is not faster. But for one particular kind of maths it is extremely powerful – and that is exactly the maths that protects what you send online today.
A big enough quantum computer does not exist yet. It doesn’t need to exist today. Someone can record your encrypted traffic now, store it and wait – like keeping a locked letter until one day you get a key that fits. This is called “harvest now, decrypt later”.
For a password you change anyway, it matters little. For health data, business secrets or anything that must stay secret in ten years, it matters a lot.
A quantum-safe connection uses a new lock that nobody knows how to pick – not even with a quantum computer. It costs you nothing. You just need an up-to-date browser.
For the curious: the lock is called ML-KEM and was approved by the US standards institute NIST in 2024 (FIPS 203). Browsers use it together with the well-known X25519 – together X25519MLKEM768 – so the connection is at least as secure as before, even if one half should one day turn out to have a weakness.
What the server saw the moment you arrived
Every website gets this with the request – before the page has even been drawn.
Show everything your browser gives away
Now we run the measurements ad networks and fingerprinting scripts use: hardware, fingerprints, WebRTC leaks and third-party cookies. Everything is computed in your browser and shown only to you.
Two tests reach outside: WebRTC asks Cloudflare’s STUN server which address it sees, and an invisible frame from Wi24rd’s test domain wi24rd.click sets two test cookies that are deleted again after 5 seconds at most.
What you can do
Five things that work
- Keep your browser up to date – it is the most important thing you can do. New versions close security holes and bring quantum-safe connections.
- Use a browser that blocks trackers and blurs your fingerprint. Brave does it by default and is built on Chromium, so extensions and bookmarks can come along. Wi24rd uses Brave itself.
- Use secure DNS so your internet provider cannot read which sites you look up. It takes a minute – see the steps below.
- A VPN hides your IP address – not your fingerprint. Sites can still recognise your browser.
- Say no to permissions you do not need – especially location, camera, microphone and notifications.
Honest footnote: Brave has its own ads and crypto rewards, which can be switched off. For full anonymity, use Tor Browser.
How to turn on secure DNS (Cloudflare 1.1.1.1)
Chrome, Brave and Edge: Settings → Privacy and security → Security → “Use secure DNS” → choose Cloudflare (1.1.1.1).
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → DNS over HTTPS → “Increased Protection” → Cloudflare.
iPhone, iPad and Mac: get Cloudflare’s free “1.1.1.1” app. It turns on encrypted DNS for the whole device.
Android: Settings → Network & internet → Private DNS → hostname one.one.one.one.
Your router: use 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 – or 1.1.1.2 and 1.0.0.2 to block known malware too. It covers the whole home, but is not encrypted beyond it.
Check afterwards at 1.1.1.1/help or internet.nl. We do not test your DNS ourselves – that needs a name server that logs lookups.
Global Privacy Control
A signal asking sites not to sell or share your data. It is built in and on in Brave. In Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → “Tell websites not to sell or share my data”. Chrome and Edge need an extension.
Temporary IPv6 addresses
Windows, macOS, iOS and Android use them by default. On Linux: set net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr=2. If your machine uses an address built from the network card’s MAC address, it can be recognised across networks.
Automatic time
Turn on “Set time automatically” in your operating system’s date and time settings. A wrong clock can make encrypted connections and codes from MFA apps fail.
What we could see, but don’t
A website can get this too
With one permission prompt – and in some browsers without asking at all – a site can also get hold of the following. We don’t, because we believe it should not be possible in the first place. But you should know that it is.
And you should not take our word for it. The proof has three layers: what Wi24rd blocked in the header the page was sent with, what your browser itself answers – and an attempt where the page actually tries to get access.
Layer 1 · Wi24rd’s header, read just now
Loading …
See it yourself: open the developer tools (⌥⌘I or F12) → Network → reload → click myip.wi24rd.com → Headers. Or in a terminal: curl -sI https://myip.wi24rd.com/ | grep -i permissions
Layer 3 · Try to break the block
The button makes the page actually ask for your location, camera, microphone, clipboard, USB, screen, sensors, fonts and ad profile. The attempt only runs for things your browser has first confirmed are blocked – so you are never asked anything.

Questions and answers
What people ask
What is my IP address?
Your IP address is the address the internet sends replies back to. It appears at the top of the page once it has loaded. It usually belongs to your internet provider, your employer or your VPN – not to you personally – but it can be linked to your subscription.
Why does my IP address change?
Most home connections get an address that may change when the router restarts, or at fixed intervals. On mobile networks many customers often share the same address. IPv6 addresses typically change on their own to protect your privacy.
Can a website see where I live?
Not precisely without your permission. From the IP address any site can guess country, region and often city – but the guess is often your provider’s location. Your exact position (GPS) requires you to say yes in a prompt. Only say yes when it makes sense for what you are doing.
How do I know if my connection is quantum-safe?
See “Is your connection quantum-safe?” at the top. If it says yes, your browser agreed on the key with ML-KEM. If it says no, update to Chrome or Edge 131+, Firefox 132+, Safari 26+, Brave 1.73+, Opera 116+ or Tor Browser 15+.
What is a browser fingerprint?
A fingerprint is a combination of many small details – screen, graphics card, fonts, language, time zone and the way your machine draws text and sound. Each is harmless on its own, but together they can recognise your browser again, even after you have deleted your cookies. Press “Show everything” to see your own.
Is my VPN leaking?
The page reveals the two most common leaks: WebRTC showing a different public IP address than the one you came from, and your browser’s time zone not matching the IP address’s country. Either is enough for a site to see that you use a VPN – or where you really are.
Is a private (incognito) window anonymous?
No. A private window forgets your history and cookies when you close it – but your IP address, your fingerprint and your provider are the same. Sites can even measure that you are using a private window. If you want to be anonymous, use Tor Browser.
Can my internet provider see what I do?
Your provider can see which addresses you connect to and when – but not the content of encrypted pages. Without secure DNS it can also see every domain name you look up, and without ECH it can see the site’s name in the connection itself. Secure DNS and an up-to-date browser close most of that. A VPN moves the insight from your provider to the VPN company.
Is a VPN worth the money?
It depends on what you want. A VPN hides your IP address from the sites you visit and your traffic from the local network – handy on public Wi-Fi. It does not make you anonymous: your fingerprint and your logins come along, and you move your trust from your provider to the VPN company. Check here that it does not leak through WebRTC.
Does myip.wi24rd.com store anything about me?
No. The service has no database and no logs and loads no scripts from others. The only cookies are the third-party cookie test under “Show everything”: an invisible frame from Wi24rd’s test domain wi24rd.click sets two test cookies, reads them and deletes them again after 5 seconds at most. Everything is computed for the single request and shown only to you. The site runs on Cloudflare, which – as for every site on Cloudflare – processes the connection in order to deliver it.
How do I best protect myself?
Keep your browser and operating system up to date, use a browser that blocks trackers and blurs fingerprints (such as Brave – or Tor Browser if you want to be anonymous), say no to permissions you do not need, and use secure DNS. The “What you can do” section shows how, step by step.
Can I use the service from a terminal or a script?
Yes. curl myip.wi24rd.com returns just your IP address, and curl myip.wi24rd.com/json returns everything the server sees as JSON. Add ?ptr=1 to look up reverse DNS as well. AI agents asking for text/markdown get the page as Markdown.
