Paste the URL into the free X-VPN Link Checker and hit “Check link.” We’ll quickly scan it against known phishing, malware, and scam sources and return a clear result so you can decide whether to open it or not. Remember that no tool can guarantee 100% safety, so avoid entering passwords or payment details on unfamiliar sites even if a link looks safe.

The link checker compares the URL against lists of malicious and phishing websites. It uses the same security intelligence that powers X-VPN’s Safe Browsing and Malicious Website Blocker features, which are designed to stop dangerous websites and harmful downloads.

Yes. The online link checker is free to use and doesn’t require an account or subscription. If you want always-on protection, ad blocking, and automatic link checks in your browser, those are part of X-VPN’s premium Safe Browsing features.

The free link checker is for one-off checks: you paste or enter a suspicious URL and get a quick answer. Automatic search protection, included in X-VPN Safe Browsing, scans many results on Google and Bing in real time and shows safety icons next to each link, and can also block many known malicious websites while you browse. Safe Browsing further adds ad and tracker blocking, download protection, and other tools for everyday use.

A few quick red flags:

• The domain name looks slightly wrong (for example, arnazon.com instead of amazon.com).

• The link is shortened or looks random, and you weren’t expecting it.

• The message around the link pressures you to act immediately or threatens account closure.

• The site asks for passwords, payment details, or ID information out of nowhere.

Whenever you’re not sure a URL is genuine, treat it as suspicious and run it through the link checker before you click.
