MyIPScan
VPN before / after workflow

Is My VPN Working?

A VPN check should compare what changed after you connect or switch servers. MyIPScan can review visible browser/session signals, but it cannot certify the VPN provider or every route.

Run VPN Leak Test Run full report
Visible signals Safe receipt Not a certification

Before / after flow

Run the VPN Leak Test before changing the VPN, save the baseline, connect or switch VPN manually, then retest in the same tab when possible.

Signals to compare

Compare visible public route, DNS resolver owner, WebRTC candidates, IPv6 visibility, User-Agent context, and browser fingerprint traits. Changed and unchanged signals both matter.

Limits

A low-review browser result may suggest fewer visible review flags in this session. It is not a provider audit, anonymity proof, or guarantee that every app/device/network route is covered.

Before / after privacy flow

Compare one browser or VPN change at a time

This page is focused on visible browser/session privacy signals. Start with the linked focused tool, then use Public Exposure Report for the combined route map. Results are visible browser/session signals, not a certification.

1. BaselineRun the focused check before changing VPN, DNS, browser, profile, or network settings.
2. Change one thingConnect or switch VPN, change Secure DNS, adjust WebRTC/fingerprint settings, or move networks.
3. RetestRun the same check again in the same browser/session when possible.
4. CompareReview changed and unchanged IP route, DNS, WebRTC, IPv6, fingerprint, and User-Agent signals.
5. Safe receiptUse Safe Copy or the Safe Privacy Receipt instead of sharing raw identifiers.

Status language

Use conservative result labels

These labels keep the result understandable without implying a VPN, browser, device, or account is safe.

Visible

A browser/session signal was visible and should be compared with what you expected.

Expected

The observed signal appears consistent with the stated route or browser behavior.

Review

The signal may need closer review before relying on this setup for the current session.

Limited

The check ran, but this page cannot cover every app, device route, server, or future connection.

Not detected

The tested signal was not observed in this browser/session.

Not checked

The signal has not run yet or the browser did not provide enough data.

Fix checklist

Where to review settings after a signal needs attention

Settings names change. Treat this as a route to verify, then rerun the focused check and the Public Exposure Report.

Safe Receipt limits

Safe Copy removes raw IP addresses, exact city, full User-Agent, raw DNS resolver IPs, raw WebRTC candidates, and raw fingerprint values where relevant. It is a reduced summary, not a certification.
