What is a VPN and how does it hide my IP address?
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) hides your real IP address by encrypting your traffic and routing it through secure servers located in another location. This masks your identity and protects your privacy online.
How can I check if my VPN is working properly?
Visit our IP, DNS, and WebRTC tools to check if your real IP or DNS servers are exposed. If the test results show your actual location or ISP, your VPN might not be working correctly.
What is a DNS leak?
A DNS leak happens when your DNS queries bypass the VPN tunnel and are handled by your ISP. This can expose your browsing activity even though your IP is hidden.
How do I perform a DNS leak test?
Click “Test Now” on our DNS Leak Test tool. It sends DNS requests and checks which servers respond. If your ISP’s DNS appears, you likely have a DNS leak.
What is a WebRTC leak and how to test it?
WebRTC can expose your local IP address to websites. Use our WebRTC test to detect any leaks. If local IPs are shown while on a VPN, you may have a WebRTC vulnerability.
How do I fix WebRTC leaks in my browser?
Disable WebRTC in your browser settings or use privacy-focused extensions like WebRTC Control. Brave and Firefox also offer native WebRTC controls for enhanced privacy.
Can websites detect VPN usage?
Yes, some websites use VPN detection tools that check for known IP ranges or unusual traffic patterns. However, good VPNs regularly rotate IPs to avoid detection.
Why does my real IP show even with VPN on?
This usually indicates a leak — either DNS or WebRTC — or that your VPN disconnected. Check our test tools to identify where the leak is happening.
Do VPNs reduce internet speed?
VPNs may slightly reduce speed due to encryption and rerouting. Choose a high-speed server near your location to minimize speed drops.
Can I test VPN leaks on mobile?
Yes, our tools are mobile-friendly. You can run the same IP, DNS, and WebRTC leak tests on any Android or iOS browser.
