VPN and WebRTC guides
These notes explain what a public IP lookup can and cannot prove. Use them when a VPN looks connected but websites still see the old address, when a country label looks wrong, or when a WebRTC test shows extra addresses. They are not a substitute for your VPN app’s own diagnostics, and they do not include DNS leak testing.

Longer explainers of the same checks also live on the blog. Blog
