I had this exact problem! My "free VPN" extension was leaking my IP the whole time.

Now I only use extensions from reputable devs. Also, test your VPN with ipleak.net—it’s the most reliable imo.

You’re right to worry. Some extensions can bypass VPNs entirely.

Try this:
1. Disable all extensions
2. Test for ip leaks
3. Re-enable them slowly

If your real IP shows up, you’ve got a leaky extension.
