Provider-neutral self-test pilot

Planet VPN Leak Test

Planet VPN is run by a Romanian company and offers desktop and mobile apps plus browser extensions. The apps support OpenVPN, StarGuard and IKEv2, and the provider claims DNS and IP leak protection. The Chrome extension lets you choose which sites or tabs use the tunnel, and premium plans add split tunneling, so some traffic can leave outside the VPN by design. The provider notes that WebRTC protection varies by browser, which makes the WebRTC line worth reading in each browser you use.

Read methodology

Live test

Run the test on Planet VPN now

Planet VPN says WebRTC protection depends on the browser, so a WebRTC line showing your home address in one browser does not mean other browsers behave the same. Run the test in each browser you use.

Current-session checks

What this Planet VPN self-test checks

Run the test once in every browser you use with Planet VPN, because the provider says WebRTC protection differs between browsers. If you use the extension rather than the app, test the browser where the extension is active.

Before you read the result

What Planet VPN documents about these signals

With the app connected, the IP and DNS lines should point to a Planet VPN location rather than to your internet provider.

App or extension

Planet VPN ships native apps and browser extensions. The Chrome extension's smart filters decide which websites or tabs go through the VPN tunnel. A test run in a browser with filtered sites can therefore show your real address for traffic the filter leaves out.

Protocols

The provider lists OpenVPN, StarGuard and IKEv2 as supported protocols. It says the app configures the connection itself, and it offers OpenVPN config files for routers and other clients. A manual OpenVPN setup does not include the app's own leak settings, so test it separately.

DNS and WebRTC

Planet VPN advertises DNS and IP leak protection. Its WebRTC page says protection against WebRTC leaks varies by browser and suggests testing each one. A WebRTC line that shows your home address deserves a check of that browser's WebRTC settings.

Split tunneling

The plans page lists smart filters and split tunneling as premium features. Apps or sites you exclude are meant to bypass the VPN, so they will show your normal address. Turn exclusions off before a test if you want a clean reading.

Logging and servers

Planet VPN's privacy policy says it does not track browsing history, traffic, content or DNS queries. Its no-logs page states that servers run on diskless, RAM-based infrastructure. The same page mentions an independent audit, but we found no published audit report on the provider's site.

Between the readings

Record a kill-switch drop on Planet VPN

Planet VPN's blog describes a Network Kill Switch toggle in the app's Settings that cuts the internet until the VPN reconnects and places it in the premium version, while its Windows page lists a kill switch in the Windows app. Check which one your own app shows before relying on it.

Independent audits

No published independent audit found. The no-logs page mentions an independent audit but names no auditor and links no report; the policy, terms and about pages show none. freevpnplanet.comChecked 19 Oct 2026 Every published VPN audit by date.

What this cannot prove

  • This checks visible browser/session signals only.
  • This does not certify the provider.
  • This does not test every server, app, device, or connection.
  • This does not prove anonymity.
  • This does not prove every security condition.
  • A clean result does not prove every leak is absent.

How to compare before and after on Planet VPN

  1. Disconnect Planet VPN and run the test to record your normal IP, DNS and IPv6 lines.
  2. Connect the Planet VPN app or extension to a location and note which one you picked.
  3. Rerun the test in the same browser, then in any other browser you use.
  4. Expect the IP and DNS lines to change to the VPN location; a home address in any line is worth investigating.
Safe Copy limits

Safe Copy exports use safe summary categories and remove raw IP, exact city, full user-agent, raw fingerprint data, raw resolver IPs and WebRTC candidates. It is not a certificate, provider audit, or proof of anonymity.
