I'm concerned that my husband may be using a VPN, but I'm not sure how to tell for sure. What are some signs or methods I can use to determine if he's utilizing a virtual private network on his devices? Could changes in internet speed or browsing habits be indicative? And if I do find evidence of a VPN, what should I do next to ensure my privacy and security aren't compromised?

If you suspect someone is using a VPN, one way to confirm this is by comparing their claimed location with the location indicated by their IP address.

If the two locations don't match, it's highly likely that the person is using a VPN to obscure their true location.

To further verify this, you can use IP address checkers to identify the Internet Service Provider (ISP) associated with the IP address.

Identifying a person's location based solely on their IP address can be misleading. It's common for individuals to use VPNs to change their apparent location.
