What to check before choosing a free VPN
A free VPN can be a fine way to start, but you’re routing traffic through it. Check the publisher, funding, privacy label, permissions and trial terms first.

This is the address VVPN receives from your browser’s connection.
A VPN, proxy, or shared network can change this address. It does not reveal your exact home address.
FREE NETWORK TOOLS
Quick answers for the curious.
Useful detail for the technical.
Find the records behind a domain. Inspect addresses, mail servers, nameservers and more.
02See real DNS responses from probes across six continents. Compare what has reached each location.
03Start with an IPv4 or IPv6 address and look for its PTR hostname.
04Trace the path from root nameservers to a domain’s authoritative DNS.
05Find a domain’s registrar, registration dates, nameservers and public registration details.
MAKE SENSE OF YOUR CONNECTION
Your public IP is the address a website sees when you connect. Your internet provider, a shared network, a proxy, or a VPN may provide it. DNS does a different job: it translates names such as vvpn.pro into records that help apps find servers.
Use the IP checker before and after connecting to a VPN, or use the DNS lookup tool to investigate a domain. A DNS lookup alone cannot tell you whether your VPN is working or whether your browser is leaking DNS.
