VPN not hiding ip! -
I just found out the hard way that aparently you cant trust the Android app.
It shows im connected. It shows my private ip and the IP i get after im connected to the vpn.
But going to a whats my ip address shows my public IP, country and phone operator just fine.
What the heck is going on ?
Why is the app showing that i have an IP from a certain country when any website will tell me my own ip ( as opposed to the PIA IP ) ?
The switch for not allowing anything else bypassing it is enabled. It have the killswitch enabled too. So did I mess up something or isnt this as trustworthy as i thought ?
Oh and since i keep seeing the sites i need outright blocking the entire PIA - as the IP's identify themselves as such, sadly this is becomming less and less what i need.
If any website can see that im comming from a known VPN host then its a problem.
