netwmnk Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I setup OpenVPN on my router and mobile phone. I am able to connect via the OpenVPN mobile app. When I google "MyIP", it shows a Verizon IP address not my home IP address. I expected to see my home IP address, is that not the case? I tried viewing "Device Manager" but I don't see any new devices. Since its a VPN, would this show up at all? How can I verify that my mobile device is indeed connected to my home router?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 9, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2019 Are you referring to the VPN service in the Settings page or the VPN Hybrid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 9, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2019 Your public IP won't have changed. The easiest way to be to access the interface or if you have a server at home you want to access or something along those lines, whatever it is you want to use it for just see if it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 23, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 23, 2019 In that case you want a VPN Client, not VPN service. You should be using VPN Hybrid instead and will need to sign up with a VPN provider to use with the feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
