VPN speed test
Measure your VPN's download throughput, upload, and latency against a clean baseline. Same rig we use to score providers.
Median download throughput from your browser to our edge. Smaller numbers usually mean either VPN overhead or congested same-continent peering.
Random bytes prevent edge compression from skewing results.
What this test actually does.
The probes, the servers, the assumptions — exposed up front so you know what the result means.
We stream uncompressible random bytes from a Next.js route on our edge to your browser. Latency is measured from four tiny round-trips; throughput from two ~4MB samples after a warmup. Random data prevents middleboxes from inflating numbers with compression.

What is my IP address?
See your public IP, ISP, and approximate location. Detects IPv4 / IPv6 separately.
DNS leak test
Run a DNS leak test against your active connection. We probe multiple resolvers and report which servers your queries actually reached.
WebRTC leak test
Many browsers leak your real IP through WebRTC even when you're connected to a VPN. This tool surfaces the leak in real time.
Kill switch test
Verifies that your VPN's kill switch actually blocks traffic when the tunnel drops. We simulate a disconnect and report leaks.
VPN latency map
Compare round-trip latency to every server region for every VPN we test — picked the right one for your region.
