downaddict 0 Posted ... Hi, I've been experiencing something weird recently, although I'm not sure whether it hasn't been always the case because I haven't checked this. Today I hopped on a website and wanted to add a comment. In the form that popped up there was a field with "You're posting from IP:" and after the colon there was my IP! I don't have geolocation turned on in my browser nor is WebRTC on. On various websites that check for IP leak, my computer comes clean (no IP or DNS leak). So how come it's visible on that particular website? The network lock on Eddie is on, and I'm using the latest version. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post

OpenSourcerer 939 Posted ... Being connected to Kitalpha (91.214.x.x), and my real IP being 79.x.x.x, I'm apparently posting from 144.76.x.x, an address belonging to Hetzner Online, a server/web hoster in Germany. That is strange indeed, and I can't give a plausible explanation now. Quote Hide OpenSourcerer's signature Hide all signatures » I am not an AirVPN team member.

go558a83nk 290 Posted ... It's not showing our real IP. For giganerd it was something entirely different and it's the same for me. I have suddenlink as my ISP and am using Dallas AirVPN servers. The IP address it thinks I'm at is 40.77..x.x which seems to belong to ARIN https://bgp.he.net/AS8075#_prefixes Quote Share this post Link to post

There is no remaining trace of your real IP address in your packets once they are not between the VPN server and you, (not like in proxies which add X-Forward etc. field, obviously) and a web site owner can not access our VPN servers (again, that's obvious) as administrator or physically to perform a correlation analysis in real time.

The site can somehow deduce the country I'm writing from even though I'm connected via a VPN server located in, say, Germany. And it was the same for @giganerd I've tried with a few different servers and the IP is still pointing to Poland. Quote Share this post Link to post

Kenwell 5 Posted ... I'm connected to a Dutch server. When i want to post. Site says: YOU WRITE TO US FROM THE IP ADDRESS: 54.90.131.4 That IP belongs to: Amazon.com, Inc. It's strange, but no geo/leaks here Quote Share this post Link to post
