What Is an IP Leak?

How IP Leaks Happen

An IP leak occurs when your real IP address becomes visible despite using a VPN or proxy. This can happen through DNS leaks (your DNS queries bypass the VPN tunnel), WebRTC leaks (your browser reveals local network addresses), or IPv6 leaks (your VPN only tunnels IPv4 traffic). When your IP leaks, websites and trackers can see your true location, ISP, and online activity.

What Your IP Address Reveals

  • Your approximate geographic location (city, region, country)
  • Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) name
  • Whether you're on a residential, mobile, or datacenter connection
  • A rough estimate of your postal/ZIP code area
  • Your local timezone via geolocation databases

How to Prevent IP Leaks

  1. Use a reliable VPN like VPN XO that includes a kill switch
  2. Enable DNS leak protection in your VPN settings
  3. Disable WebRTC in your browser (or use a VPN that blocks it)
  4. Make sure IPv6 is disabled or tunneled through your VPN
  5. Regularly test your connection with tools like this one

How This Test Works

This tool connects to VPN XO's servers to detect your public IP address — the same address any website would see when you visit it. We then perform a geolocation lookup to show your approximate location, ISP, and whether your connection appears to originate from a VPN or datacenter. If you're using a working VPN, the displayed location should match your VPN server, not your physical location.
