Is My VPN Working?

Using a VPN is a great way to protect your online privacy—but only if it’s actually working. Here’s how to quickly check if your VPN is hiding your real IP address and keeping your connection secure.

1. Check Your IP Address

When connected to a VPN, your IP address should reflect the location provided by your VPN service—not your real location. Visit checkmyip.pro to view your current IP, ISP, and geolocation.

2. Look for IP Leaks

• DNS leaks: Your browser might still be using your ISP’s DNS. Consider running a DNS leak test.
• WebRTC leaks: Some browsers can expose your real IP even with a VPN. Use browser privacy settings or extensions to block this.

3. Match IP Location with VPN Server

If your VPN says you’re connected to a server in the Netherlands, your IP geolocation should match. If it shows your real country, something is wrong.

4. Disconnect and Compare

Try turning off the VPN and refreshing checkmyip.pro. If your IP changes, the VPN was working. If it stays the same, it wasn’t masking your IP at all.

Stay Protected

Always double-check your IP and VPN performance when privacy matters. checkmyip.pro helps you instantly see what’s exposed about your connection.
