Strait
Browser Network Path Inspector
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Strait is a privacy-first network path inspector for your active browser tab. One tap — see exit IP, ASN, Private Relay status, TLS, DNS, and WebRTC leaks.
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.
