Strait vs Veil Browser+

Strait is a privacy-first network path inspector for your active browser tab. WHAT YOU SEE - Tab exit IP — IPv4 and IPv6, with ASN, owner, and coarse location - Native/system exit IP — for side-by-side comparison - iCloud Private Relay verdict — active, shadowed by VPN, or not observed, classified against Apple's published egress IP ranges - VPN-like interface and system proxy state — based on the default route, not just utun presence - TLS snapshot — version, ALPN, certificate leaf, issuer, and expiry from a native probe (clearly labeled as Strait's probe, not the browser's reused connection) - DNS comparison — system resolver vs. DNS-over-HTTPS - WebRTC leak check — surfaces public srflx candidates that bypass the tab's exit ONE-TAP COPYABLE REPORT Every check produces a clean text report you can paste into a bug ticket, a forum post, or a chat with your network admin. The copy report is the power-user source of truth. HONEST UNCERTAINTY Strait labels every value with its source and confidence. When timing data is hidden, when a probe is from the companion instead of the tab connection, or when a result is inferred — the UI says so. PRIVACY BY CONSTRUCTION - No analytics, no telemetry, no remote logging - No account, no sign-in - No browsing history or per-host log leaves the device - External calls are limited to documented probe endpoints and only run when you check a tab - Strait does not route your traffic — it is not a VPN WHO IT'S FOR - iCloud+ subscribers who want a readable answer to "is Private Relay doing anything here?" - Privacy-sensitive users who run VPNs and want to verify them - Web, SRE, and security debugging users who need a compact browser-side network report WHAT STRAIT IS NOT Not a VPN. Not a packet sniffer. Not a passive collector of browsing history. Not a replacement for Web Inspector. Strait is a focused, on-demand path inspector. TO ENABLE Strait ships as a Safari Web Extension. After installing, open Settings > Apps > Safari > Extensions and turn on Strait. Then tap the Strait icon in the browser toolbar on any page.

Veil Lens is a privacy-aware iPhone browser that helps you see what watches you while you browse. ON-DEVICE TRANSPARENCY Veil observes tracker activity on pages you visit and summarizes it in plain English. History, tracker signals, and privacy scores are designed to stay on your iPhone. Veil does not build a cloud browsing profile. VEIL REPORT Open Report on any page to see vendors and categories Veil detected. These are automated inferences from incomplete signals. They can be wrong. Nothing is blocked. Veil shows, you decide. VEIL SEARCH Search the web with privacy-aware ranking. Sites you’ve visited in Veil can show a Veil Score, higher means lower tracking exposure (weighted from what Veil observed, not just a raw tracker count). Scores stay on this device. RABBIT HOLE An optional link-hopping game that uses the same tracker lens. Fun side mode, not required for browsing. YOUR USUAL SEARCH STILL WORKS Prefer Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo? Open them in the address bar or from bookmarks. Veil Search is optional. BUILT FOR CLARITY • Address bar for websites; Search button for Veil Search • Scan screen (optional) to read what’s visible on the page • Save PDFs via Share → Save to Files • Themes, retention controls, and clear browsing vs clear search scores separately Veil is a transparency tool, not a VPN, not an ad blocker, and not a guarantee that any site is “safe.” Third-party websites have their own terms and privacy practices.
