IP address changed on wi-fi but not on phone data

Hello,

 

I very recently started using AirVPN for my android phone by using the config generator to create a ovpn file for OpenVPN for Android. When I connect to AirVPN using wifi, my public IP address changes. However, when I connect using my phone's 4g connection, my public ip address does not change and sites like whatismyipaddress.com show my location and ISP. Is AirVPN not compatible with an android's wireless network? If it isn't, what can I do to ensure all my data is routed through AirVPN when I am using my phone's 4g connection?

 

Thanks.

There was a similar topic about LTE connectivity, I can't find it anymore. Please provide a logfile of a failed connection, from line 1, into spoilers (how-to in signature).

Ok. Before I post though, I want to point out another observation I had. When I connect my laptop to the internet via my android phone's mobile hotspot, and I search for my IP using the laptop, I noticed that it still refers to my phone's real IP and even my phone's ISP. This is despite the fact that both my android phone and my laptop show that I am successfully connected to an AIRVPN server. I don't know if that's normal (If you haven't noticed, I'm a noob at this, so please take the explanations slow), but it's getting me very worried about my privacy.

 

Anyway, here's my log from my android phone after I connected to an AIRVPN server.

This is despite the fact that both my android phone and my laptop show that I am successfully connected to an AIRVPN server.

 

Tethering does not work with the VPNService API on Android, it will get routed through conventional interfaces (wlan0 for example) and not through tun0. On Windows, the tethering NIC should have a lower metric than the primary physical interface (routing works by using the interface with the lowest metric first), apparently it's even lower than TAP-Windows.

You request your IP with Windows, Windows routes it to Android, Android routes it through WLAN or 2G/3G/4G whichever is available. Ergo, you see the phone's provider

Ah.. i'm gonna be honest. I only partially understood the first part of your post - although im glad you did provide that cause thats how im learning - but i understood perfectly the part where you broke it down neatly. Tethering does not work with AirVPN. Got it. Thx.

 

But that still doesnt solve my original problem. Why is my Android's LTE connection not being routed through an AirVPN server even though OpenVPN says im successfully connected? Am i doomed to being able to use AirVPN only through wi-fi?

Hello,

 

I very recently started using AirVPN for my android phone by using the config generator to create a ovpn file for OpenVPN for Android. When I connect to AirVPN using wifi, my public IP address changes. However, when I connect using my phone's 4g connection, my public ip address does not change and sites like whatismyipaddress.com show my location and ISP. Is AirVPN not compatible with an android's wireless network? If it isn't, what can I do to ensure all my data is routed through AirVPN when I am using my phone's 4g connection?

 

Thanks.

 

Do you have Android 7.0 (Nougat)?

Tethering does not work with any VPN client you use on Android which does not need root access.

 

Would you mind trying a TCP connection?

It's in the logs.

I tried that, but it didnt work. I think i figured out what's going on though, but I don't know how to fix it.

 

When my phone uses LTE and connects to AirVPN, it turns out that it's generating both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address. When I search for specifically my IPv4 public address, it does indeed show an airvpn server. However, and correct me if im wrong, AirVPN does not support IPv6. This is why sites like whatismyipaddress.com show my location and ISP - theyre reading my IPv6 address. When i connect to AirVPN through wifi, as far as I can tell, my phone does not produce an IPv6.

 

Assuming all those assumptions I just made are correct, my question is now this: Is there a way to prevent my phone from producing an IPv6 address when I use its LTE? I briefly googled this, and the only solution i found needed a rooted android, which is something I dont want to do. I also dont want to prevent my phone from permanently producing an IPv6 address... just when it connects to AirVPN

Go into the settings of your preferred connection profile, then Routing tab > Deleselct "Bypass VPN for local networks". I found a few threads on GitHub though they're all a bit old. But one of them references Android 5.0 and deselecting this apparently disabled IPv6, too.
