Deluge with VPN (PIA) - IP Hidden?

Post by v2k »

I'm using OpenVPN on Ubuntu with PIA (privateinternetaccess)

I'm wondering if the VPN is working and if my IP is hidden. Via all the test sites and torrent trackers, it appears as though my IP is indeed hidden. However, in the logs, I see my local IP listed:

Code: Select all

515 [DEBUG   ] 20:41:49 alertmanager:123 portmap_log_alert: UPnP: sending: POST /Public_UPNP_C3 HTTP/1.0^M$
the line:

513 [DEBUG   ] 20:41:49 alertmanager:123 portmap_log_alert: UPnP: got router external IP address 64.XXX.XXX.XXX$
lists my router's WAN IP. Is this only seen localy by Deluge, or is it in fact exposed?

Anyone know what the log "got router external IP address" means?

Well that is from UPnP creating a port on your router so you can turn that off in Deluge Prefs. As for whether the IP is exposed, unlikely as it's a log message from communicating with router what really matters is the external_ip_alert reported by libtorrent.
