IP Leak Test
Check if your VPN is properly hiding your real IP address. This test queries multiple sources to detect any IP leaks.
What is an IP Leak?
An IP leak occurs when your real IP address is exposed despite using a VPN. This can happen through various means including WebRTC leaks, DNS leaks, or misconfigured VPN software. When your IP leaks, your actual location and identity can be discovered by websites, advertisers, and potentially malicious actors.
Common Causes of IP Leaks
WebRTC Leaks
Browser WebRTC can expose your real IP even when connected to a VPN.
DNS Leaks
DNS requests may bypass your VPN and go directly to your ISP.
IPv6 Leaks
Many VPNs don't properly handle IPv6, leading to leaks.
Kill Switch Failure
If your VPN disconnects without a kill switch, your real IP is exposed.
How to Fix IP Leaks
- Use a reputable VPN with built-in leak protection
- Enable the kill switch feature in your VPN settings
- Disable WebRTC in your browser or use a browser extension
- Disable IPv6 if your VPN doesn't support it
