Test your VPN
A VPN can encrypt websites and still fail on DNS or WebRTC. To test a VPN properly, check the public IP, the resolvers answering “what is my DNS”, and any WebRTC leak — not just a single IP widget.
Use this checklist after you connect. Work top to bottom. If the IP looks like the VPN but DNS or WebRTC still shows the ISP, the tunnel is incomplete.
Each linked test runs in your browser against public endpoints. NetScope does not keep the results unless you create a report.
How to use this tool
- Connect the VPN, then open the IP lookup and confirm country and ASN match the VPN server.
- Run the DNS leak test (or “what is my DNS”) and confirm resolvers are not the access ISP.
- Run the WebRTC test and look for an extra public address. Optional: use the torrent leak test notes if you also run BitTorrent.
Start with IP lookup
Frequently asked questions
Why did my IP change but DNS did not?
The tunnel may cover TCP/HTTPS while the OS still uses ISP DNS. That is a DNS leak. Run the DNS leak test next.
Is a browser test enough for every VPN feature?
It is enough for web, DNS, and WebRTC as this browser sees them. Kill-switch, split tunnel, and torrent-client binding still need checks inside those apps.
