No way!
. Concerning.I’m going to access the site in Chrome and then Brave browser, can you confirm or deny if it shows a different IP address please?
Give me a moment and I’ll test this.

@jac Sure
Thanks mate. I have just accessed the site in two separate browsers with different actions.
I didn’t login with either browser, hopefully that doesn’t effect the result.

@JAC On checking, I actually get the same. You have to logout of Sudonix completely, then back in otherwise it just uses the existing session - regardless if you use another browser.
I tested this, and it’s using my actual IP. As soon as I logged out and back in again, it uses the VPN IP

@jac This is really odd. I still see your actual IP. It seems to me that ExpressVPN is actually leaking your address.

I wonder if I try NordVPN and see if this resolves anything.

Interesting…
.Ok so more research shows that when connected to Express VPN and using this https://nordvpn.com/ip-lookup/ rightly or wrongly it shows up my REAL IP address.
When I connect to Nord however and refresh the page it comes up the IP address that I’ve connected to via Nord which is what it should do.
Im now testing whether this just because it’s a Express VPN IP entered into the Nord website and its a competitor so shows no protection.

Yes, that’s correct as the IP address you have does not belong to NordVPN so they have no way of confirming.
@jac said in VPN connections...:

Correct
- The post you created when connected to NordVPN shows the VPN address.
- The post you created when connected to ExpressVPN shows the real IP address.
Based on this, it’s clear that ExpressVPN is leaking your IP address. This is why I only ever trust Nord

I have changed some settings within Split Tunneling, I have now logged out and am connected to Sweden.
Can you confirm this is now working using Express VPN please?

I definitely think the two winners are Nord & Express VPN, although I await the outcome of whether Express VPN is actually working which is concerning, one being the cost and two being how long I’ve used it for now possibly without any protection!
