How to check if VPN is working?

Hi,

I have just purchased the Avast SecureLine VPN Multi-device.

I have no problem activating the VPN but how can I be sure that it actually works properly? Is there any way I can test it?

HOLA YO TENGO EL MISMO PROBLEMA INSTALE LA COMPRA QUE HICE POR DOS AÑOS, COMENSO HACE DOS MESES PERO PARECE QUE ESTA TOTALMENTE DESPROTEGIDA MI PC Y NO VEO COMO COMUNICARSE CON LA EMPRESA AVAST, ASI QUE VI TU COMENTARIO Y PENSE TE DIERON RESPUESTA, SIGO SIN SABER COMO HACER.

What is it you want to check ?
You can check the IP from the outside, monitor the data traffic and such.

У меня не. Работает пишут сервис не доступен пачему

This is a ENGLISH forum !

Hi.

Before activate Secure Line VPN open a command screen (cmd.exe) and type “netstat”. You will see all active connections where local IP address will be your unprotected IP. So, activate the VPN, wait some minutes to close and reopen all conections, and repeat the process. Now you will see all connections with another IP address (VPN IP address).
