If a VPN connection is configured using system tools, there’s no convenient way to view detailed connection information. And “built-in” VPN interfaces don’t always show accurate or complete data.

In this case, you can install the [**VPN Peek**](https://apps.apple.com/app/vpn-peek/id6757384027?mt=12) app, which displays all the most important information about your current VPN connection.

You can see:

- Server IP address
- Connection status
- Server location
- Hosting provider name
- DNS details
- IPv6 leak protection information

In the settings, you can choose to ignore traffic that intentionally bypasses the VPN and specify trusted DNS servers.

### Price

VPN Peek does not offer a free trial. The price is $3.99.
