whatismyip.com knows my real IP after successful connection?

Post by jeraldjunkmail » Fri May 22, 2015 2:42 am

Hi all. Looking for some help with my issue. I everything says it is running, and the client connects with no complaints, but when I go to whatismyip.com, it tells me my real address ipaddress and geolocation. Any assistance is appreciated! Great software, btw!

Server is not behind a firewall or NAT, but is being run on a VPS (probably as a vm instance). Client is behind a NAT.

Running a local bridge, not secureNAT.

Hi,

i'm really sure how to solve this, but when I'm having your issue it's because my DHCP server is not giving valid ip addresses to my clients (or no ip at all). Softether behaves like everything is ok but it's not.

So check that your client has a valid ip address and a default gateway.
