You would connect to the VPN and then open a command line interface (cmd for Windows, terminal for MacOS and Linux). You should then be able to display the network settings (ipconfig /all for Windows, nmcli or ifconfig or whatever for Linux (there are quite a few options), for MacOS, ipconfig getiflist will return the network adapter list then ipconfig getoption (network adapter name from list) domain_server_name will return the DNS servers in use).
The easy part is the basic ping command on all 3 would be ping kindle.com though using ping -c 4 kindle.com on MacOS and Linus to set the ping count to 4 times is what I generally do so ping -c 4 kindle.com would work.
