⚠️ Known Leak Risks With Private Internet Access

🔴

WebRTC Leak Risk Chrome and Firefox can expose your real IP through WebRTC even when Private Internet Access is active. Our test checks this automatically.

🟡

DNS Leak Risk If your browser uses its own DNS resolver, queries bypass the VPN tunnel. This reveals your browsing history to your ISP.

🟢

Canvas Fingerprint Private Internet Access does not change your browser fingerprint. Ad networks can still track you via Canvas even with VPN active.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Private Internet Access hide my IP address?

Private Internet Access replaces your real IP with a server IP. However, WebRTC leaks in your browser can still expose your real IP. Connect to Private Internet Access, then run our test to confirm your IP is truly hidden.

How do I know if Private Internet Access is connected?

Run our IP checker at whoer.live while connected to Private Internet Access. If the country shown matches your VPN server (not your real country), your VPN is working. Our tool also detects whether your ISP is a residential ISP or a VPN datacenter provider.

Can Private Internet Access be detected by websites?

Yes. Whoer Live checks your IP against VPN provider and datacenter IP ranges. If your IP belongs to Private Internet Access's infrastructure, websites and ad platforms can detect you are using a VPN. Residential proxies are harder to detect. Run our test to see your exact detection status.
