IP Check

IP Check & DNS Leak Test

Once you're connected through a route, open this page to see the exit IP, country and ISP that target sites actually read. Lookups go through our own same-domain endpoint and results stay on this page; below you'll find what counts as a DNS leak and how to check for one step by step.

Field guide

What these details tell you

The four fields answer different questions: which region a site places you in, who the address is registered to, and how risk systems read it.

Exit IP

Once you connect through a route, this is the address target sites see instead of the public IP your local broadband assigned. It decides which language version you get, which regional content library and pricing you see, and it's the first thing login risk checks read. The exit address changes with the route, so it's worth checking again every time you switch.

Country / Region

Location comes from the IP address registration records, which regional internet registries allocate block by block to ISPs or data centers. It doesn't always match the route name: a relay route's exit can land in the country or region where the landing data center sits. Go by what this page shows; if it's far from what you expect, switch to another route in that region and test again.

ISP

This field shows who the address block is registered to — usually an ISP name, a data center name or an autonomous system number. Residential broadband addresses and data-center addresses score differently with many sites' risk systems: the former look more like ordinary visitors, while the latter are often asked for extra verification. It's reference information only and doesn't affect whether the route itself connects.

Proxy detection

Some sites compare against public lists of data-center address blocks to judge whether a visitor is coming in through a proxy. A proxy hit doesn't mean the route is unusable — most sites are unaffected; a few may ask for a CAPTCHA or a second confirmation, and switching to another route usually gets around that.

The result reflects this one lookup only. After you switch routes, move between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or restart the client, the exit address changes — check again before drawing conclusions.

Connection integrity

DNS Leak Test

A healthy exit address doesn't mean domain lookups also go through the route. DNS leaks are a common reason an IP looks fine while pages still treat you as local.

What is a DNS leak

Before your device can reach a domain, it has to resolve that domain to an IP address. If the lookup doesn't go through the route and instead goes straight to your local ISP's DNS servers, then even when page traffic travels through the route, the lookup records still reveal your approximate location and ISP. That's what a DNS leak is.

How to check

  1. First connect a route in your client and make sure the interface shows connected — don't leave it stuck on “Connecting.”
  2. Come back to this page and tap “Check again” to confirm the exit IP's location matches the region of the route you picked.
  3. Open your client's DNS settings and set resolution to go through the route (remote DNS or route-side DNS) instead of leaving the system default in place.
  4. Use a DNS lookup tool that shows the resolving server to query a common domain, and see whether the resolver's location matches your route's region.
  5. If the resolver is still local, switch to another route and repeat steps 2 to 4 to work out whether it's a client setting or a route problem.

This page can only verify the exit IP; resolver location has to be confirmed in the client or at the system level.

Data notes

Privacy and lookup records

The lookup happens only between you and our own endpoint, with no external service involved.

How lookups work

Location lookups are handled by our own same-domain endpoint, only for the exit address of the current request, and only to display on this page.

Where results go

Results aren't written into your account profile and aren't linked to orders, subscriptions or tickets; refreshing the page runs a new lookup.

Connection logs

On connection logs, our policy is not to keep them; the full scope and exceptions are set out in the privacy policy.

Registration

Subscriptions don't require an email address — a username and password are enough, and your account holds no extra personal details.

See the Privacy Policy for the full terms, and VPN security guide for beginners for how to look after your subscription link.

FAQ

Common questions about IP checks

The exit IP's location doesn't match the route's region — is something wrong with the route?
Not necessarily. Location comes from address registration records, and different databases may label the same block differently; a relay route's exit can also land in the country or region of the landing data center. Switch to another route in that region and test again — if both results agree, that's simply where the route exits, not a detection error.
I switched routes but the page still shows the old result — what should I do?
The page doesn't refresh on its own when the client changes. First confirm the client shows it has reconnected, then tap “Check again” on this page to start a new lookup. If the result still isn't what you expect, check whether the client really switched to the route you wanted.
Proxy detection flags proxy traits — will that affect streaming or logins?
Most sites are unaffected; a few may ask for a CAPTCHA or a second confirmation, and switching to another route usually gets around it. This field only reflects the address's public traits and has no direct bearing on route speed or stability.
Are lookup results stored?
Results are shown on this page only, aren't written into your account profile and aren't tied to orders or subscriptions; refreshing the page runs a fresh lookup.
