VPN Leak Test

Check the IP address, approximate location, ISP, DNS resolvers, and WebRTC addresses your VPN currently exposes.

This page sends a request directly from your browser to ipapi.co, runs a DNS leak test through a third-party resolver observer, and checks browser-side WebRTC candidates. It shows the visible IP address, approximate location, ISP, DNS resolvers, and WebRTC addresses your browser exposes. Quick Privacy Tools does not store the result.

What your result means

Loading your visible IP details, running a DNS leak test, and collecting WebRTC candidate addresses. Once the result appears, compare it with the VPN server location you expected to use.

What this VPN leak test checks

This version checks the public IP address, approximate location, ISP or network owner, DNS resolvers reported by an outside DNS observer, and WebRTC candidate addresses that websites can see from your browser right now.

What this version still cannot prove on its own

It cannot know which exact VPN server you intended to use, and DNS warnings should be treated as a practical clue rather than a courtroom-grade verdict. Use the results to compare expected versus visible behavior, then test again after changes.

Quick fix checklist

  • Connect to your VPN before running the test.
  • Refresh the page after changing VPN servers or protocols.
  • Check whether the ISP looks like your VPN provider rather than your normal network.
  • Compare the visible IP with any public WebRTC address shown above.
  • Review the DNS resolver list and look for anything that still belongs to your normal network or ISP.
  • Disable or limit WebRTC in supported browsers if local details keep appearing.
  • Turn off custom secure DNS in the browser if it is bypassing the VPN.
  • If the result still looks wrong, reconnect and try another server or protocol.
  • Only after that, consider switching to a VPN with stronger leak protection.

Recommendation slot prepared for an approved VPN partner

If your real IP address, location, ISP, DNS pattern, or a different public WebRTC address still appears while your VPN is connected, a stronger VPN setup may be the fastest fix. This module is ready for a live affiliate recommendation, but no approved affiliate URL has been placed yet.

How to use this VPN check

Turn on your VPN, refresh this page, and check whether the IP address, country, city, ISP, DNS resolvers, and WebRTC addresses match your VPN setup rather than your normal internet connection.

What should you look for?

If your VPN is working correctly, the visible IP address and any public WebRTC address should usually reflect the VPN server, and the DNS resolver list should not point back to your normal ISP path. If your real ISP, location, or a different public WebRTC IP appears, your VPN may not be active or may be leaking information.

Does this page use outside services?

Yes. This page uses ipapi.co for the visible IP lookup, bash.ws for the DNS leak observation flow, and public STUN endpoints for the browser-side WebRTC candidate check.

Avoid fake VPN offers and risky downloads

If you land on a suspicious VPN download page, browser extension page, or offer that feels off, double-check it before installing anything. ScamCheckTool can help you review suspicious sites and claims.

VPN leak test FAQ

What does this VPN leak test check?

It checks the public IP address, approximate location, ISP or network owner, DNS resolvers, and WebRTC candidate addresses that your browser currently exposes.

How do I know if my VPN is working?

Turn on your VPN and refresh the test. If the visible IP address, DNS pattern, and WebRTC public address line up with your VPN server rather than your normal connection, your setup is in better shape.

What does a DNS warning mean?

It usually means the DNS resolvers reported by the test do not cleanly match the same network as the visible connection. That can be a sign that DNS requests are bypassing the VPN or using an unexpected resolver.

What if WebRTC shows a different public IP?

That is a stronger sign of a leak. Reconnect the VPN, switch servers or protocols, and check whether your browser has WebRTC protections enabled.

Does this page now run a DNS leak test?

Yes. This page now checks visible IP details, DNS resolver behavior, and WebRTC exposure.
