When choosing a VPN, you’re sure it’ll give you maximum protection online. Which, unfortunately, may not always be the case. Sometimes things go wrong, and IP leaks happen, for example. Not cool.

So how can you make sure that your VPN is working properly, shielding your data the way it’s supposed to? What other problems can a VPN have? And, most importantly, how to fix them? Read along to find out.   about his

What problems can your VPN have? 

A VPN hides your IP address and protects your data. That’s the deal. But if you experience one of the following problems, it means your VPN isn’t working properly. 

VPN data leaks

Unfortunately, VPN data leaks do happen. They mostly concern free VPNs, though. Notorious is the data leak of these free VPN providers — SuperVPN, GeckoVPN, and ChatVPN, with the first one known as one of the most popular free VPN apps for Android, having more than 100 million installs. So yeah, safety of free VPNs is often compromised.

1. Make sure your VPN is updated
Before you do anything else while you're troubleshooting, you should always make sure that you have the latest version of your VPN available. 

2. Turn off your VPN and look up your IP address
When a VPN is working correctly, it will mask your IP address and create an encrypted tunnel to protect your data.
Now, turn off your VPN and look up your IP address, which only requires typing, "What is my IP address" into Google. Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is your device identifier on a network, assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Peter
