The Ethernet adapter Ethernet section is, line for line, exactly the same for vpn on and vpn off. I thought it odd that it swapped their order. With vpn on it first shows "Unknown adapter Local Area Connection" then "Ethernet adapter Ethernet". With vpn off, it first shows "Ethernet adapter Ethernet" then "Unknown adapter Local Area Connection". Both results showed the Windows IP Configuration as the same. I ran ipconfig /all with the vpn turned on, and then again with vpn turned off.
If you are using a proxy, it's a transparent proxy." Then I added their magnet torrent link to qbittorrent (which I'm new to, too, I've been using utorrent for years) and the Torrent Address detection shows IP4 addresses from the vpn - I'm still trying to learn how to read/decipher IP6's.
Then it showed an AirVPN Canada server address, and says "No forwarded IP detected. Then I installed Eddie, connected to the suggested server (Canada), and returned to. That site showed everything I expected it to, pre-vpn. Before installing 64bit Eddie 2.18.9, I went to. Just to be clear, I'm in the US and using a Windows 10 Pro computer. More online security is always better, but initially what started me on this path was a DMCA warning due to downloading the one show that isn't available on my cable. After doing a fair amount of reading I signed up with AirVPN. I'm a complete newbie to VPN (but not computers though).
