Quarterly datasets
Four aggregate measurements taken from the traffic this site already handles, published every quarter as CSV under a Creative Commons Attribution licence. No dataset contains an IP address, a session identifier, or anything that can be traced to one visitor.
What will be published
Leak rates by browser and leak type
PlannedWhen a visitor is behind a tunnel, which browser leaks, and which check catches it?
- Measures
- For sessions that ran the full VPN check, the rate at which WebRTC, DNS or IPv6 exposed a path outside the tunnel, split by browser engine and major version.
- Method
- Counted only from sessions that ran every check to completion. A leak is recorded when a check returns an address or resolver outside the network the HTTP request came from. The rubric is published with the data.
- Columns
- quarter, engine, engine_major, sessions, webrtc_leak, dns_leak, ipv6_leak, any_leak
How the numbers are made
Every figure is a count of sessions, never of people and never of addresses. A session contributes at most one row to at most one bucket. A full address is never written down: the country, the network number and the check outcome are resolved while the request is being answered, a counter is incremented, and the rest is discarded inside that same request.
Buckets with fewer than 500 sessions in a quarter are suppressed rather than published, because a small bucket in a small country is not anonymous. Suppressed buckets are reported as a count of suppressed rows so the totals still reconcile.
Each release carries the rubric that produced it. When a rubric changes, the old series is not rewritten; a new column is added and the change is described in the release note. Comparisons across a rubric change are marked in the CSV itself.
