Is My VPN Working? — Instant VPN Status Checker

Checking your VPN status...
How VPN Detection Works
This tool checks whether your internet connection is routed through a VPN by analyzing your public IP address and the organization that owns it. When you use a VPN, your traffic exits through the VPN provider's servers, so your visible IP address belongs to the VPN company rather than your ISP.
We compare your IP's registered organization against a database of known VPN providers, hosting companies, and datacenter operators. If your IP belongs to one of these networks, it's a strong indicator that you're using a VPN or proxy. We also check for timezone mismatches between your browser and your IP's geolocation.
No detection method is 100% accurate. Some VPN providers use residential IP addresses that are harder to identify, and some ISPs operate networks that look similar to datacenters. For the most thorough privacy check, combine this tool with our DNS Leak Test and WebRTC Leak Test.
Complete Your Privacy Check
A VPN status check is just the first step. Ensure your connection is fully protected by testing for other common privacy leaks.
DNS Leak Test — Verify your DNS queries travel through the VPN tunnel. A DNS leak lets your ISP see every website you visit, even with a VPN active.
WebRTC Leak Test — Check if your browser reveals your real IP through WebRTC APIs, which can bypass VPN tunnels entirely.
Browser Fingerprint — See how uniquely identifiable your browser is. Even with a VPN, your browser fingerprint can track you across websites.
IP Lookup — Get detailed information about any IP address including geolocation, ISP, ASN, and network details.
