What am I looking for on there to know if my VPN is working as intended or not?
While connected to the VPN you shouldn't be able to see your real IP address. There is a torrent magnet link near the bottom left of the page that you can download and run on your client (qbit, transmission, etc) which will check whether that's leaking anything too.
I like to use this. It generates a custom torrent. Then shows the IPs connected to it. Whatever it shows should not be your public/home IP https://torguard.net/checkmytorrentipaddress.php
Thanks. What results am I looking for to make sure it works?
