IP Leak Guard — Privacy Policy

This policy covers the IP Leak Guard browser extension published by STAR SOURCE LTD.

Last updated: 11 November 2026

1. Who publishes this extension

IP Leak Guard is published by STAR SOURCE LTD, a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 17443871, with its registered office at 128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom. Full details are on our company information page.

2. What we collect

Nothing. The extension does not collect, store on any server, or transmit to us any personal information, browsing history, page content, cookies or account details. We operate no server for it, use no analytics, and receive no data from it.

There is one thing the extension does handle on your device, and the Chrome Web Store counts it as location data, so it belongs here rather than only in section 4. To show you what websites can see, the extension reads your public IP address and the country it belongs to. It is used for three things and nothing else: displaying that address to you, warning you when a VPN connection drops, and running the leak test when you ask for it. It stays in your browser, it is never sent to us, and it is never sold or shared for any other purpose.

3. What the extension does

It helps you find and reduce IP and DNS leaks in your browser. When you switch them on, it sets some of Chrome's own privacy settings: the WebRTC IP handling policy, network prediction (DNS prefetch) off, Do Not Track on, hyperlink auditing off, and Chrome's Topics, Protected Audience and Ad Measurement features off. It can also remove WebRTC from web pages if you choose the optional "Block WebRTC on all sites" mode. It checks your public IP so it can show its country and warn you if your VPN connection drops, and it can run a leak test when you ask.

4. Third-party services it contacts

To tell you what websites can see, the extension sends requests to these public services. Like any website you visit, they receive the IP address the request comes from. The extension sends them nothing else about you.

  • ipwho.is and get.geojs.io — return your public IP and its country. Checked every 2 minutes and when you open the popup.
  • bash.ws and edns.ip-api.com — the DNS leak test, which reports which DNS servers looked up test names. Only when you run the leak test.
  • stun.l.google.com — the WebRTC part of the leak test. Only when you run the leak test.

5. Permissions it requests

  • privacy — to apply the Chrome privacy settings listed above.
  • storage — to remember your switches, language, chosen home country and the last IP check, in your browser only.
  • alarms — to re-check your IP every 2 minutes.
  • notifications — to show the VPN-drop alert.
  • scripting — to register the optional script that removes WebRTC from pages.
  • Host access to the four lookup services above — for the IP check and the DNS leak test.
  • Access to all websites (optional) — requested only if you turn on "Block WebRTC on all sites". It is used for that one purpose and does not read or change anything else on the page.

6. Local storage

Your settings and the result of the last IP check stay in your browser. They are never sent to us and are removed when you uninstall the extension.

7. The secure DNS guide

The extension includes a page that shows Windows commands you may copy and run yourself to turn on secure DNS. The extension never runs them and has no access to your system.

The extension's popup and pages contain links to the Telegram bot and channel of GetNetwork, a separate connectivity service. Those links open only when you click them, and the extension does not track whether you do. GetNetwork is not operated as part of this extension, and any use of it is governed by its own terms.

9. Children

The extension is not directed at children and handles no personal information.

10. Changes to this policy

If a future version of the extension changes what it handles, this page will be updated before that version is released, and the date at the top will change with it.
