1. Check your IP address
Use ExpressVPN’s IP Address Checker to look up your IP address. If you have connected successfully, the IP address shown will correlate to the location you are connected to via the VPN. You will also see a message confirming “Your IP address is secured.”

2. Run a DNS leak test
Run a DNS leak test to see if you have connected to the VPN successfully. If you have connected successfully, you will see “No DNS leaks detected. You are using ExpressVPN’s secure DNS servers.”
If a DNS leak is detected even though the VPN is connected successfully, contact the ExpressVPN Support Team.
