Adapted from Public Network Protection Guide 3.0.1. Read-only review first; no universal executable configuration is supplied.

## Before changing anything

Identify the operating system, client version, launch entry and actual execution host. A working browser does not verify a terminal, IDE, remote host or child process.

Choose whether the goal is known-destination routing or isolation of an entire workload. Record unknowns; these are different guarantees.

- Keep existing account mode, ordinary networking and remote access.
- Prepare a scoped backup and a recovery path before edits.
- Never send credentials, full logs, subscriptions or personal configurations to this site.

## What this website can verify

The check observes the current browser connection. Its score cannot verify Claude account permissions, CLI isolation, DNS routing or a future ban. Local configuration and failure recovery require separate authorized checks.
