If I start the client without being connected through the VPN, my IP does not show up. It is only when the VPN connection is disconnected and I transition from one network interface to another. This is also if I have the kill switch enabled, so I imagine that if the connection is lost, I am safe as all internet access would be blocked then. And that it is only if I manually disconnect myself that this happens.
Could this be a Proton VPN issue? I am pretty sure I checked this previously, and didn’t see it before the recent Linux client GUI update, but I am not entirely sure.
I’ve tried staring with all my might at the different options in the hopes I might identify something. I did turn off the features suggested above in the comment field, but have still been unable to solve it.
Thanks - those were both enabled, and I’ve disabled them now. However, this still happens after I’ve done this and restarted the client. I also tried turning off peer exchange that I found together with these options under the Privacy tab, also without solving the issue.
That is what the interface bind is supposed to prevent, or at least that is what I thought it was supposed to prevent. To avoid IP leaks in case of a lost VPN connection. I wonder if I’ve misunderstood it, or misconfigured it or something else.
