WebRTC Leak Test: Check Browser Candidate IPs Without Silent Scans

Modern home, IP risk, privacy and latency pages start a shared session automatically, including external DNS and STUN connections. Direct entry to tools, method or policy pages does not start a session; an existing session may continue. Old language homepages show an IP profile and use separate buttons for extra browser checks. Guides are explanations, not test results.
