Is it possible to detect VPN connection?

I have a vpn connection with 3 users (1-2-3). As they connect, they will all get different IPs. Is it possible to detect which one is currently connected?

I'm not entirely sure what kind of vpn you're using (I don't even know what that term means), but regardless of whether your VPS/hosting provider provides such functionality (they don't) or if your VPN service provides any form of tracking or logging capabilities (they don't), the answer is 'yes'. In a normal VPN (like you would connect to your home router), you could use your VPN client to capture the traffic to and from the vpn server, and try to deduce who was behind the VPN connection at the time. VPNs are very flexible in how they're able to track connections through to the end-point (a client) and, so long as you only use a single account and there's no password involved (I assume you wouldn't be able to use a password over a VPN), there's no reason not to try to correlate information about the VPN connections.

How do I know if I am on a VPN?

To make sure you are on a VPN, you need to make sure that the DNS server that is being used is your VPN's DNS server.

You do this by running: nc -vz 127.0.1 8300

You will need to run the command without any parameters, and then look for the line that says 'DNS'. It should look something like this: DNS request to 127.1#53 (id=2) for 127.2#53 (id=13)

If you do not see the DNS line, then you are probably not on a VPN. If you do see the DNS line, then it means that you are on the VPN.

To change the DNS server, you can edit the file /etc/resolv.conf and add or change the name server line. The last one in /etc/resolv.conf is the DNS server that the VPN provides.

You will need to restart the network services in order for the changes to take effect. To restart them, you would run: service networking restart. Note: if you are using a VPN connection with the OpenVPN package, you may need to restart the OpenVPN service as well. Is there a way to disable DNS? Yes, you can disable DNS on the command line with the -dns parameter. For example, if you are using the Cisco VPN client, then you can type the following to disable DNS on the command line: cisco vpn client. -disable-dns. If you are using another client, then you will need to check the documentation for the client to see how to disable DNS. How do I connect to a VPN from a Windows client? Some clients such as Cisco AnyConnect do not work with Windows, but some clients such as the Cisco VPN client do. For clients that do not work with Windows, you will need to use a tunneling protocol that supports Windows such as IPSec.

My VPN drops packets at certain times. This may be due to an issue with the Linux kernel that your particular combination of hardware and OS may cause. Try contacting your vendor for help on this.

How do I turn VPN off?

The answer to this question depends on your setup and security needs.

I'm going to walk you through the steps here: In the settings of the app. If you are using a paid version of the app (like NetHacker) you will see an option to turn off VPN after a specified duration of time. This is also available in the free version. If you're a free user, there is no way to turn off the VPN. You can, however, delete the application.

Open up the app and tap Settings. Tap VPN (or VPN if you are on iOS 7). The settings menu will open. Select on for the toggle switch next to VPN.

If you have any data from sites you connect to regularly, this might save a lot of time in the long run as this will remove the need to enter your credentials again. However, if you want to take advantage of the speed offered by VPN on websites, you should definitely do it. Do remember that you are leaving an encrypted tunnel and you could get yourself into a security mess. So please take this advice with a grain of salt.

How do I turn on VPN? Open the App and tap Connect. Here you have two options to turn on VPN: Automatic - this will start the process automatically when you are connected to a wifi network. It will also stop automatically when you leave the network.

Manually - this is only available for the paid versions of the app. Note that the process of turning on VPN will not affect the data being sent and received via the apps. That said, if you are using an open wifi network, you should think twice about turning on the VPN.

Downloading content from foreign sites. Maybe you have a website that gets videos or music from different countries.

Like a game or file sharing application. They used an ad-blocker or something similar. Using such tools blocks advertisements by the content owners, or at least that's the point of them.

If you are connecting from one network share using one computer, connecting from another using another computer and you are logging into a different account, most likely they're using their own computer. There are two common cases for using a different account. Either they didn't turn off roaming mode properly, or they were logged into guest mode without realizing it.

If you are connected from two different accounts it is almost sure that they're using VPN from a different location. How do I make sure that no one is using a VPN on my network?
