Provider-neutral self-test pilot
FastestVPN describes itself as a Cayman Islands based company, and its privacy policy points to that jurisdiction's lack of mandatory data retention laws. It publishes a no-logs audit report from Altius IT, which it calls an independent California-based auditor. FastestVPN sells both full apps and browser extensions, and its support site says the extensions secure only browser traffic. Knowing which of the two you are running is the first step in reading the IP, DNS and WebRTC lines.
Live test
If you are on a FastestVPN browser extension, FastestVPN says it covers only browser traffic, so other apps on the device keep their usual route. If the DNS line shows your ISP on a manual or third-party setup, FastestVPN's Windows guide says leaks can appear there and recommends its dedicated Windows app.
This browser session
This reports what your browser shows in this session. It does not certify FastestVPN, does not test every server, app or device, and does not prove anonymity.
Current-session checks
With a FastestVPN extension, watch the WebRTC line, since FastestVPN says its extensions include WebRTC leak protection. With the full app, focus on the DNS line, which FastestVPN ties to its DNS leak protection.
Before you read the result
FastestVPN's privacy policy says it notes the day you connect but not connection timestamps, and keeps bandwidth totals for maintenance.
FastestVPN says it is a Cayman Islands based company and cites the jurisdiction's lack of mandatory data retention laws. It says it passed its first independent audit by Altius IT, covering the app, the servers, the features and all legal policies. The report is offered as a download on its audit page.
FastestVPN's support site says the extension is only responsible for securing browser traffic, and that the extensions include WebRTC leak protection. With an extension on, expect this browser's results to change while other apps on the device keep their normal route.
FastestVPN says its Internet Kill Switch cuts the internet connection when the link to the VPN server is lost. Its split tunneling routes selected application traffic through the VPN tunnel and can be switched on or off manually. Traffic outside the selected apps is not expected to carry a FastestVPN address.
FastestVPN's Windows guide says a third-party client can show DNS leaks and recommends its dedicated Windows app to avoid them. The support site also has a guide to disabling IPv6 on Windows.
FastestVPN lists OpenVPN, IKEv2, IPSec, OpenConnect and L2TP among its protocols. One subscription covers up to 10 devices at a time. If you test several devices, run the baseline and connected checks on each one.
Between the readings
FastestVPN's features page says its Internet Kill Switch terminates the internet connection if the connection to the VPN server is lost. Its support site lists the kill switch among the benefits of the apps rather than the extensions.
