WebRTC is a browser feature that can bypass VPN tunnels and expose your real IP even when Proton VPN is active. Some browser extensions and browser settings can prevent this. This test detects WebRTC leaks automatically.

⚠️ Known Leak Risks With Proton VPN

🔴

WebRTC Leak Risk Chrome and Firefox can expose your real IP through WebRTC even when Proton VPN 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 Proton VPN does not change your browser fingerprint. Ad networks can still track you via Canvas even with VPN active.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Proton VPN hide my IP address?

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

How do I know if Proton VPN is connected?

Run our IP checker at whoer.live while connected to Proton VPN. 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 Proton VPN be detected by websites?

Yes. Whoer Live checks your IP against VPN provider and datacenter IP ranges. If your IP belongs to Proton VPN'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.
