How to check if your VPN is leaking private dataA trusted virtual private network is a great tool for security and privacy, but if it's not configured correctly it may not be so private. One simple way to see if the VPN is working is to search for what is my IPon Google. At the top of the search results, Google will report back your current public Internet Protocol (IP) address. If you’re on a VPN, it should show the VPN’s IP. If it doesn’t, you know you have a problem. Note: If you’re not sure what your VPN's actual IP is then take the IP address Google gives you (such as 107.152.98.165) and enter that into Google like so: IP 107.152.98.165. The top several search results should indicate where that IP is located. If you’re in Toronto and the IP is registered in California then the VPN is working. http://www.pcworld.com/article/3150256/internet/how-to-check-if-your-vpn-is-leaking-private-data.html
