How to tell if your vpn is hiding your ip

There are several VPN test services available on the web through which you can find out potential vulnerabilities in your VPN. You might have to pay for these services, and that may be an inconvenience. 

  1. First, you need to figure out your IP address. Disconnect your VPN.
  2. Get to know what your IP address is.
  3. You’ll find your IP address on the top. Note down the number.
  4. Now, sign in to your VPN and select a server of your choice.
  5. check the IP address, and you should see a new address.
  6. Make sure the IPs are different (when connected and when disconnected).

 If not then 86 it. (haha) this is what is called, "IP leak. if any other questions i would try my best to answer them.
