Free VPN tools
These are the checks worth running on any VPN before you trust it, rebuilt so you can run them yourself. No sign-up, no email, nothing stored — and each one tells you plainly whether a VPN would actually change the answer.
Scores come from the published rubric; prices were last checked September 12, 2026.
Run these on your own connection: what your IP says about you, whether anything leaks, how much speed a VPN costs you, and what a plan really costs once the intro rate ends.

A DNS leak test on our own authoritative nameserver, a speed test that runs before and after you connect, a server picker that tells you which country to choose for a given job, and a deal tracker with live expiry dates. If one of these would be useful sooner, say so — the order is not fixed.
