How to test if your VPN is working

Keeping your online activities and data private is a top priority nowadays. VPNs, or virtual private networks, are one of the best ways to do this. Not only do they encrypt your internet connection, but they reroute all of your traffic through a private tunnel to keep it safe from prying eyes. Even the best VPNs can have problems, though.

Maybe you’re not sure if your VPN is working properly. Or maybe you just want to test out the service for yourself to better understand how it safeguards your privacy.

I especially liked that the ipleak site also does a torrent address detection test. Happy to see my ProtonVPN service passed all the test with zero leaking of my actual IP address.
