VPN Leak Test

This test checks whether your VPN connection is leaking your real identity. If the IP address shown below belongs to your real ISP rather than your VPN provider, your VPN is not working correctly. Use the results to verify your privacy setup before browsing or accessing sensitive services.

216.73.217.61

⚠ No VPN Detected
⚠ No VPN was detected. Your real ISP IP is visible. If you believe your VPN is active, it may not be connected, your VPN client may have crashed (kill-switch may not be active), or this provider may not yet appear in our detection database.

How to Fix a VPN Leak

If this test shows your real ISP IP instead of your VPN provider's IP, follow these steps to diagnose and fix the issue:

  1. Verify the VPN is connected - Check your VPN client. It should show a green/active status. Reconnect if disconnected.
  2. Enable the kill switch - A kill switch blocks all internet traffic if the VPN drops. Enable it in your VPN app's settings.
  3. Change VPN protocol - Try switching from OpenVPN UDP to TCP, or use WireGuard if available. Some protocols are blocked by certain networks.
  4. Check for DNS leaks - Go to your VPN settings and enable "DNS leak protection" or "Prevent IPv6 leaks" if those options exist.
  5. Disable WebRTC in your browser - In Firefox: about:config → media.peerconnection.enabled → false. In Chrome: install a WebRTC control extension.
  6. Try a different VPN server - Some servers may be overloaded or blocked. Switch to a different location in the same country.
  7. Update your VPN client - Outdated VPN apps may have bugs that cause split-tunneling or routing leaks.
  8. Consider a different VPN provider - If leaks persist, evaluate providers with audited no-log policies and leak-proof clients.

Types of VPN Leaks

Leak Type What Leaks How to Test
IP Leak Your real public IP address is visible despite VPN being active. This page - Compare detected IP to your VPN's assigned IP.
DNS Leak DNS queries go to your ISP's DNS servers instead of the VPN's. Visit a DNS leak test site; check if your ISP's DNS server appears.
WebRTC Leak Your browser reveals your real local or public IP via the WebRTC API. Check browser developer console or use a WebRTC leak test extension.
IPv6 Leak IPv6 traffic bypasses the VPN tunnel and exposes your real IPv6 address. Enable IPv6 leak protection or disable IPv6 in your OS network settings.
