This may seem like edging towards paranoia, however, how many of you do a pre-flight check of your network before you use your devices?
Every morning when I start up my computer, I do a pre-flight check against sites like DNSLeakCheck, and several others. It’s a back check to make sure my network is operating in as private, secured, and an anonymous manner as possible, and perhaps give me a little more peace of mind.
To facilitate this in an expedient manner, I wrote a simple bat script to do just that.
@echo off
echo Opening websites in succession...
:: List of websites to open
set "websites=grc.com cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni browserleaks.com/dns dnscheck.tools ipleak.net"
:: Delay between opening each website (in seconds)
set "delay=5"
:: Loop through each website and open it
for %%i in (%websites%) do (
echo Opening %%i...
start "" "https://%%i"
timeout /t %delay% /nobreak >nul
)
echo All websites opened.
# pause
Critique, input always welcomed.


Take this the right way mate, but this seems like obsessive behaviour. Being sure is good and all, but this might be an unnecessary stress factor for you
Myself I don’t do any pre-flight checks. My VPN has a killswitch and I get a notification whenever it breaks on my server so I know to check it
