Hey all ,im a newbie at vpn and this is my first attempt at getting openvpn to work.
ive got the openvpn gui program going , downloaded the certificates from vpnbook and put them in the correct folder , connected to vpnbook euro1 udp53 , put in the password and it tells me its connected and shows me a new ip address.
however when i go on any site like iplocation.net it displays my real ip address.
what am i doing wrong?, please any help would be much appreciated
also when i look in network and sharing centre it now shows 2 active networks , my original isp (access type : internet , connection:wireless network connection , speed : 54mbps) and a new one called unidentified network (access type : no internet access , connection : local area connection , speed: 100mbps )
something tells me thats part of the problem maybe?
and i thought the 100mbps was a sort of home network.
as my username suggests im confused af haha , again please any help would be much appreciated

Hi guys,
I too am having this exact same issue. I have been using "OpenVPN" for a few months and I recently found out I was NOT protected in any way this entire time! I just got a friendly copyright letter for some internet activity on my IP. I thought to myself "WTF??? I'm protected, how did they see my IP?".
Lo and behold, I did some digging and to my dismay, I discovered that my real IP was still completely visible even though I had a successful connection to a VPN server.
What am I missing here? Before I get the "RTFM" responses, I tried in vain to run a search in the forums as all my key words were ignored for being too "common". I e-mailed the so called "help" and got a gentle reminder that I should visit the forums.
I signed up for an account and thankfully found this post. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a solid answer just yet. Hopefully someone in here knows what's going on.
So...I'm here hoping that like the original poster asked...is there is a simple solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance!!
