Network Check

Exit IP lookup and leak self-check

Open this page to see your current exit IP, country and ISP, then run a DNS leak self-check with the steps below. Lookups go through our own same-domain endpoint, and query contents are never logged.

Data comes from our own same-domain endpoint. If the endpoint doesn't respond, the four fields show “Temporarily unavailable” — there is no third-party public API fallback.

Reading the results

What the four fields mean

The four fields describe different sides of the same exit: address, ownership, network and public flags. Only by reading them together can you tell whether the route is actually in effect.

01

Exit IP

The address other sites see when this device reaches out. Once a route is connected it becomes the address of the landing node; disconnect and it reverts to the address your local carrier assigned. Check this one first when you want to know whether the route is really working.

02

Registered country / region

The registered location of the exit IP. Many sites use it to choose interface language, currency and content region, so when it doesn't match the node you picked, pages will behave accordingly.

03

ISP / Network

The network operator or data center that owns the exit IP. Seeing a data-center name is normal: routes land in data centers. If your local carrier's name shows up here instead, traffic is usually not going through the route.

04

Proxy check

A flag derived from the public registration records of the IP block — reference only. It reads address attributes, not the behaviour of this device; a hit doesn't mean the route is unusable, and a miss doesn't mean it suits every site.

Your exit IP and your local IP are not the same thing. The local IP is the address your carrier assigns to this connection; the exit IP is the address traffic presents to the outside world after it leaves the route's landing point. This page reads the latter, so if it changes, traffic really did take a different exit.

Self-check steps

DNS leak self-check

A correct exit IP doesn't guarantee your DNS queries follow it. A DNS leak means resolution still goes out over the local network instead of through the route's landing point. The five steps below need nothing more than this page and your system settings.

  1. Note your current exit IP firstRead it once on this page and write down the IP and its location as a baseline. Compare every later step against it.
  2. Reopen this page after connectingConnect the route and refresh. The exit IP and the location should change together; if only one changes, or neither does, confirm the connection status in your client before looking at DNS.
  3. Check the DNS servers in your systemOn Windows, run ipconfig /all in a command prompt to see the DNS servers; on macOS, look at the DNS field in network settings; on iOS and Android, open the Wi-Fi details. A resolver in a different country from the route is the classic sign that DNS isn't following the route.
  4. Test again from another siteA single result is easily skewed by caching. Repeat on another site or another device; only two matching results count as stable, so don't draw conclusions from one run.
  5. Record the conclusion, then decide whether to switch routesIf several runs all point to local resolution, switch to another route and retest; if it still happens, then look at the DNS-related settings in your client. Switching routes rules out variables faster than changing settings.

A DNS leak won't stop pages from loading, but it exposes your resolution requests to the local network and can make some sites show content for your local region. The point of a self-check is to confirm that resolution follows the same path as your route, not to chase a pretty result on any one test.

Privacy

Lookups and privacy

Lookup requests from this page go to our own same-domain endpoint. Nothing redirects to a third-party domain, and your IP is never handed to an address outside this page. Results are shown on this page only: they aren't written to your account and aren't tied to sign-in status — you can run a lookup without being signed in.

This service keeps no logs. Lookups are used only to render the result back onto this page — nothing is retained, and nothing feeds profiling or ad targeting.

Clicking “Copy IP” only writes the current exit IP to the system clipboard and sends no extra request; the clipboard is managed by the operating system, and this page can't read it back.
