ExpressVPN leak test
Connect to ExpressVPN and run this ExpressVPN leak test to confirm that it hides your real IP. The test checks your public IP, IPv6 and WebRTC addresses.
How to test ExpressVPN for leaks
- Disconnect ExpressVPN and run the test to see your real IP and provider.
- Connect to an ExpressVPN location and run the test again.
- All results should change to the VPN. Red means something leaks.
ExpressVPN DNS leak test
ExpressVPN runs its own DNS on its servers. A DNS leak usually comes from a custom DNS setting, a browser’s own secure DNS, or traffic sent outside the VPN by split tunneling. Our DNS leak test is coming soon. Read what a DNS leak is in the meantime.
How to fix an ExpressVPN leak
- WebRTC leak: install the ExpressVPN browser extension alongside the app, or limit WebRTC in your browser.
- IPv6 leak: reconnect with the latest app version, or disable IPv6 on your device.
- Leaks when the VPN drops: turn on Network Lock, ExpressVPN’s kill switch.
- Split tunneling: check your browser is not set to bypass the VPN.
FAQ
Does ExpressVPN leak my IP?

What is Network Lock?
It is ExpressVPN’s kill switch. It blocks internet traffic if the VPN disconnects, so your real IP is not exposed. Here is how to test a kill switch.
