How TestGorilla monitors your session
TestGorilla is a pre-employment assessment platform that uses lightweight snapshot proctoring. Understanding exactly what it watches is the first step to using a tool like Ofradr safely alongside it.
TestGorilla typically relies on a combination of the following signals to flag candidates:
- Periodic webcam snapshots during the test
- Full-screen mode with tab-leave detection
- Screen-capture of the test window
- IP logging and single-attempt enforcement
Why Ofradr stays invisible to TestGorilla
Most "AI helpers" are Electron or browser-based apps that show up as a visible window, a new process, or a screen-share layer — exactly the things TestGorilla is built to catch. Ofradr takes a different approach.
Ofradr is a lightweight (~800KB) native overlay rendered at the system compositor level. It is not a browser tab or a shared window, so it does not appear in TestGorilla's screen capture, recordings, or active-window checks. There is no obvious process name, and the overlay can be toggled instantly with a hotkey.
Because the assistance happens off the captured surface, TestGorilla sees a normal, focused candidate while you read solutions, hints, and complexity analysis privately.
Practical tips for TestGorilla pre-employment assessments
Stealth tooling is only half the equation — behaviour matters just as much when TestGorilla is recording. Keep these habits in mind:
- Keep your eyes on the screen and avoid obvious glances away from the camera.
- Type your answers naturally instead of pasting large blocks at once.
- Read the suggested approach, then write it in your own words and structure.
- Run Ofradr offline with a local model when the environment blocks outbound traffic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can TestGorilla detect Ofradr?
No. TestGorilla inspects shared windows, browser activity, and screen recordings. Ofradr renders as a native system-level overlay that is excluded from those capture paths, so it does not appear in TestGorilla's monitoring.
Does Ofradr work while TestGorilla is in full-screen lockdown?
Yes. Ofradr's overlay sits above the locked-down environment without interrupting it, so you keep full access to assistance even when TestGorilla restricts other applications.
Is Ofradr free to use with TestGorilla?
Yes, the Ofradr Community Edition is free. Unlike subscription tools such as Cluely ($20/month) or Interview Coder ($19/month), you can use Ofradr at no cost.
Does Ofradr need an internet connection during a TestGorilla session?
No. Ofradr supports local models like Llama and Mistral, so it can run completely offline. Your screen content and prompts never leave your machine.
