Open a leak-test page, see the VPN&rsquo;s address, done. The trouble comes at moments nobody watches: the server stops answering for a few seconds, the app reconnects, and for that short time it makes its own choices about where traffic goes.</p> <p>Take DNS. An app that can&rsquo;t reach its server may point name lookups at the local network so that names keep working. Then every name the laptop looks up while the tunnel is down goes to the home router, or the café&rsquo;s, in plain text, whatever the VPN promised.</p>
