My IP - VPN test
Extension Actions
Checks VPN status by comparing your current public IP with a saved Home IP baseline.
Stop guessing whether your VPN is active.
My IP - VPN test gives you a fast, clear status in one click.
WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT
- One-glance VPN status in the Chrome toolbar badge
- Save your Home IP (VPN OFF) and compare instantly
- Current public IP and location in the popup
- Anonymity checks: timezone mismatch, hosting heuristic, suspicious hostname, WebRTC leak signal
- Manual checks plus recent history to spot changes quickly
HOW IT WORKS
- Save your Home IP with VPN OFF
- Turn VPN ON
- Check badge and popup status
PRIVACY FIRST
- Requests only to retrieve current public IP and location
- No access to tabs, browsing history, or page content
- All extension data is stored locally in your browser
PERMISSIONS
- `alarms`: periodic checks every 15 minutes
- `windows`: refresh status when Chrome regains focus
- `storage`: save baseline, last check, and local history
LIMITATIONS
- VPN status is inferred from IP change relative to Home IP
- If your ISP changes your IP, or VPN keeps the same IP pattern, status may be inaccurate
