Is Private Internet Access Leaking?
You think
"Years of use and nothing has ever gone wrong."
The mirror
Leaks are silent. Nothing visibly breaks when one happens.
Provider detection for Private Internet Access is limited: there is no verified list of its networks yet, so a VPN will be reported as detected but not confirmed as Private Internet Access. The test runs in your browser and asks a Cloudflare STUN server for your public address — exactly what any web page can do. We don't see, store or log the result.
Testing…
Three checks run in your browser: IP masking, WebRTC and timezone. DNS has its own test.
About Private Internet Access
Private Internet Access is based in United States. It states a no-logs policy. Its apps are open source. It supports the WireGuard protocol. These are the provider's public claims and basic facts, not a guarantee.

How to fix Private Internet Access leaks
Turn on the kill switch
In the Private Internet Access app's settings, enable the kill switch (or its equivalent) so traffic stops if the tunnel drops instead of falling back to your normal connection.
Restrict WebRTC in your browser
Firefox: about:config → media.peerconnection.enabled → false. Brave: Settings → Privacy and security → WebRTC IP handling policy → "Disable non-proxied UDP".
Reconnect, then re-test
Reconnect Private Internet Access, make sure it is the connection this browser uses, and run the test again. A VPN only counts if the test says so.
Changed something? Prove it.
Re-run the test after every change — the verdict above updates in place.
Questions about Private Internet Access
Is Private Internet Access leaking my IP address?
Run the test above to see your real result. Private Internet Access can only protect the traffic it carries; a WebRTC leak or a timezone mismatch happens in the browser, outside the VPN's control.
How does this page know I am on Private Internet Access?
We do not have a verified network list for Private Internet Access yet, so this page can tell you whether you are on a VPN or hosting network at all, but it cannot confirm which provider it is.
Does Private Internet Access prevent WebRTC leaks?
Whether WebRTC leaks depends on your browser, operating system and VPN app settings together, which is why this page tests the real result instead of assuming. Restricting WebRTC in the browser removes the question entirely.
Where is Private Internet Access based?
Private Internet Access is based in United States. Jurisdiction affects legal requests to the provider; it has no effect on whether your browser leaks.
