Monitoring Your Own Network: Tools for Advanced Users

Trust is good, but verification is better. For the power users, we recommend tools like Wireshark to independently verify that your traffic is actually encrypted.

What to Look For

Open Wireshark, start a packet capture, and then connect to Oculve. You should see a stream of UDP packets (if using WireGuard) where the payload is completely indecipherable. If you see any readable text like "HTTP GET" or "Host: google.com," you have a leak.

Verification is a key part of the boutique experience—we invite you to audit our performance.

Secure your connection today.

Experience the protocols mentioned above in one simple interface.
