OpenVPN connection still shows Verizon IP instead of home IP


Recommended Posts

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?

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

I thought one of the reasons to use a VPN is so others cannot easily see your public IP.
