IP leak protection

Keeping your stuff private online can be tricky these days.
One thing that can mess with your privacy is an IP leak.

What's an IP Leak?

Imagine your IP address is like your online address. Websites can see it normally. But when you use a VPN, it's like having a secret mailbox - the website sees the VPN address, not yours.

An IP leak is like accidentally leaving your real address on the mailbox! Someone might see it and learn more about you than they should.

A VPN like ChitaVPN can help prevent IP leaks, keeping your online stuff private and safe.

What Are VPN Leaks?

A ‘VPN leak’ refers to a security flaw that lets your IP address, DNS requests, or other identifying information be seen by anyone monitoring your internet connection.

Types of VPN leaks

IP Address Leaks

IP address leaks occur when a VPN fails to hide your real IP address. This means websites can see your true identity and location, posing a significant privacy risk.

If your IP is leaking, the VPN isn't protecting your online privacy, and streaming services can detect where you really are. While IPv4 leaks are uncommon, IPv6 leaks happen more often, especially with lower-quality VPNs. Only VPNs that block or reroute IPv6 traffic can prevent this issue.

Good VPNs should have a kill switch to protect your IP if the connection drops, but many still leak your IP when you switch servers.

DNS leaks

DNS leaks occur when your DNS requests, which record the websites you visit, are sent to your ISP's DNS servers instead of your VPN's private servers. This allows your ISP to see your browsing activity. A VPN should encrypt these queries and route them to its own servers. If it doesn't, it's a DNS leak. You can use a tools to check which DNS servers your device is using.

WebRTC Leaks

WebRTC is a tool in browsers that helps audio and video chats work on web pages. It's turned on by default in popular browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.

Websites can use WebRTC in your browser to find out your real IP address, even if you're using a VPN. If your VPN doesn't hide your real IP address when this happens, it's called a WebRTC leak.

You can use a tools to check .
