How to Fix a VPN Leak
Identify the leak type — IP, DNS, WebRTC, or IPv6 — and apply the correct fix for each. Includes links to the individual fix guides.
How to Fix a DNS Leak
Enable VPN DNS protection, disable Windows Smart Multi-Homed Name Resolution, and switch to full-tunnel mode. Verified with the DNS Leak Test.
How to Disable WebRTC
Per-browser instructions for Firefox (about:config), Chrome (uBlock Origin), Brave (built-in policy), and Edge. Stops real-IP exposure via WebRTC.
How to Fix an IPv6 Leak
Enable VPN IPv6 protection or disable IPv6 on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Prevents real IPv6 address exposure when the VPN only tunnels IPv4.
How to Check Your IP Address
Find your public IP in a browser. Find your private IP via ipconfig, ifconfig, or ip addr. Verify your VPN exit IP is correct.
