How Can I Tell If My IP Leak Is Putting Me at Risk? or Is an IP Leak Something I Should Really Worry

Ugh, IP leaks are the worst. Had this happen with a "trusted" VPN once.

Double-check your DNS settings—sometimes your system ignores the VPN’s DNS and uses your ISP’s, which = leak.

Tools like Wireshark can dig deeper, but that’s overkill for most. Stick to ipleak.net for a quick check.
