VPN testing checklist

 To test: Is VPN active? Is it leaking? Does it look residential? Does it alter network fingerprints? Public IP Test (Basic Detection) - curl ipinfo.io DNS Leak Test - nslookup google.com MTU Test (Encapsulation Detection) - ping 8.8.8.8 -f -l 1472 TCP MSS Inspection - Use Wireshark and Look for SYN packets. Traceroute Path Test - tracert 8.8.8.8 WebRTC Leak Test - browserleaks.com/webrtc IPv6 Leak Test - test-ipv6.com Latency / Jitter Test - ping -n 50 8.8.8.8. VPN usually causes: More Jitters and Latency. Reverse DNS (PTR Record) - nslookup <your-public-ip> IP Reputation Check - Like most IP's from VPN Providers like Express VPN, etc. are blacklisted and all. Look for: Proxy/VPN classification, Hosting provider tagging
