My Originating ISP Showing AFTER VPN Connection

Post by JusMe » Tue Sep 29, 2015 9:21 pm

Mac OS 10.8.5

Connected using L2TP/IPsec through my Network Preferences. (with several different servers in several different countries)

All seemed to go well, and I managed some connections and downloads I wanted.

Out of curiosity, I used whatismyipaddress.com

I was horrified to discover that it shows my own initial ISP. Somehow despite appearing to be connected and everything going through the L2TP vpn, that showed up!

I assume I can expect some forwarded emails about acquiring some unapproved downloads (had a couple in the past before trying vpn)

I'm horrified and flabbergasted. What can I do to ensure my connection really is hidden?
