SverreMunthe Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 When I connect my VPN, the External IP Address will change (sometimes?), so is there a way to show both your "true" IP Address AND the VPN IP Address? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what you mean by "true". The external IP address is polled by pinging our server, and that ping will provide the IP address of your computer. That is the true external IP address of your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SverreMunthe Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Nope, the true external IP address is the one I was given by my ISP. The one I was given by my VPN provider is a fake IP address. And I would like to be able to see both of them, which means you have to poll my gateway AND your server. Shouldn't be too difficult?

I'm not sure how to talk to our server via both path (VPN and non-VPN). The external IP address as provided by AIDA64 is basically the same as if you manually visited one of the IP address providing sites, e.g. https://whatsmyip.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
