What is a VPN (Virtual Tunnel)?
Virtual Private Network. It is an encrypted steel pipe drawn in between so that your internet service provider (ISP) cannot read which site you are entering.
As soon as you visit the page, our servers ping your device's IP address and read the node.
It is investigated whether the incoming signal comes from a standard Telecom Operator (ISP) or whether it belongs to Known VPN Data Centers.

Many free VPN applications on the market actually surrender your real IP and location to the state/sites by having (DNS Leaks). Therefore, testing is a must.
Proxy only changes location at the browser (Chrome) level but does not protect the rest of the computer. VPN, on the other hand, covers the entire device and encrypts every movement, including banking.
Censoring companies like Netflix blacklist the server computer IPs used by famous VPN companies (NordVPN, ExpressVPN etc.) in their databases and ban entries.
Our tool checks if your real IP address is still visible to servers despite using a VPN. If the tool can still see your actual location, your VPN is failing to protect you.

Yes, it detects IP leaks, DNS leaks, and WebRTC leaks that often expose your identity.
We generally recommend paid, reputable providers, as free ones often leak data or sell user logs.
