In step 2, I went to the VPNTEST.pro/test page to start the test. Upon entering the page, my IP address was detected and displayed by the testing tool.

In step 3, I had to select the appropriate button. If the location shown by VPNTEST matched my real location, I was supposed to click the top button. If the actual location was different, I had to choose the bottom button. I selected the bottom button.

In this step, IP addresses and locations related to DNS are checked across 20 tests. If all of these DNS locations match the initial location, the test is considered passed. Otherwise, a list of DNS locations is shown to the user, and they are asked whether their real location is included in the list. If the answer is 'No', the test is still considered passed. However, if the user's real location is present in the list, the test fails.

At this stage, if the WebRTC protocol is active and it displays an IP address or location different from the one identified in the first step, the WebRTC test fails.

The results are presented in three sections: IP Leak Test, DNS Leak Test, and WebRTC Leak Test. In this test, Hide Me VPN successfully passed all stages and was identified as a secure VPN. If a VPN fails any of these tests, it is considered insecure.
