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
