Check If Your VPN Is Actually Working in 3 Seconds

You think your VPN is on. But is it really protecting you?

Most VPN users don't realize their DNS queries are still leaking to their ISP — even when the VPN shows "connected."

Two things you need to check:

1. DNS Leak Test — Are your DNS requests going through the VPN tunnel or your ISP?

2. WebRTC Leak Test — Is your real IP exposed through your browser's WebRTC?

Quick Test

👉 ipok.cc/en/tools/dnsproxy/ — Run the DNS Integrity Check

👉 ipok.cc/en/tools/webrtc/ — Run the WebRTC Leak Test

Both are free, run in your browser, and take about 3 seconds.

The Fix

If you see a leak:

  • Enable "DNS leak protection" in your VPN settings
  • Or manually set DNS servers (Cloudflare 1.1.1.1, Google 8.8.8.8)
  • Disable WebRTC in your browser settings

No signup. No ads. Just truth.
