## Description

IP8 Privacy Inspector is a powerful yet lightweight browser extension that gives you full visibility into your online identity and helps you stay private with a single click. It instantly shows your public IP address, geolocation, DNS servers, and privacy score, all in one streamlined dashboard.

This extension goes beyond basic IP lookups. It features built-in WebRTC leak protection to prevent your real IP from leaking during peer-to-peer connections, and offers a one-click DNS leak test to check if your system is leaking requests outside your VPN or secure tunnel.

It includes a Speed and Ping Test tool to quickly evaluate your connection quality, plus IPv4 and IPv6 compatibility checks to ensure you’re covered no matter your setup. The extension also displays reverse hostname, reverse DNS, ASN, and other technical data useful for power users.

With no ads, no tracking, and zero data collection, IP8 Privacy Inspector is designed for privacy-conscious users, VPN users, and anyone who wants to understand and control their digital footprint.
