    *** First, if you don't mind, tell us what VPN you are using. We have a vast array of experience with many of the better VPN providers. ***

    1. Try going to https:// dnsleaktest dot com and verifying that ONLY your VPN provider's server is listed even after clicking the 6 step extended test. This is a starting point.

    2. Next you need to determine and be POSITIVE that should the VPN connection to your computer be broken the computer will NOT be online. This means that your VPN server needs to be network locked. Otherwise; if that is not the case your internet provider ISP will be seen by any and all sites you connect to. BAD!!!!

    These are a couple basic starting points. Let us know what you find!
