How Can I Tell If My VPN Is Working Properly?

Modified on Thu, 18 Sep, 2025 at 3:14 AM

To check if your VPN is actively protecting your connection:

  •  Look for the VPN icon in your iPhone's status bar (usually next to Wi-Fi or signal bars).

  • Open the PROSEC app and check the VPN status indicator—it should say “Connected.”

  • Run a quick IP check:

    • Visit whatismyipaddress.com before and after connecting VPN.

    • If the IP address and location change, your VPN is working.

  • Try accessing a region-blocked site (e.g., one restricted in your country). If it loads, the VPN is active.
