      Hi

      I am using openvpn but for some reason some sites show my real ip address, (but only on some)

      i have blocked webrtc on the browser

      when I do a ping to sites it does not seem to pass through the pia server?

      this has just recently started happening

      any ideas what it could be?

        Do you tunnel everything or use a split tunnel ?

        I don't use OpenVPN but it sounds like you're using a split tunnel.

          Your vpn went down? The site is run by the NSA and the black helicopter ninja's are just that good ;)

          Why would you think that all sites on the internet answer ping?

            I have a separate gateway with the aliases I would like to route through PIA, but it is sometimes showing my address for some reason

                Well has to so most likely with your alias and your policy routing.. Maybe your aliases are not resolving correctly, maybe whatever site changed something..

                Check your state table.. Going to show you what interface you took to get to any specific IP.. If it goes out your wan, then yeah they will see your "real" ip... those helicopters will be circling soon ;) They might be outside your window now - they love to use that whisper mode ROFL...

                    And again look at your states.. So your policy routing is based on your clients IP... Maybe the client got a different IP via dhcp then you think it got.

                    Without some actual info - its anyones guess to what you think your seeing or what you think some website is seeing, etc.

                    Show us your rules that say policy route this out vpn.. Then show us state table where you have client A going out vpn, and client B not going out vpn but according to you it should be, etc.

                    Maybe your vpn went down, client created a state out your wan. Vpn came back up but client will continue to use previous state out the wan, etc.

                    No info - just all guessing.

                      thanks I will get some screenshots once i get rid of these ninjas ;-)

                      the states are showing the devices ip coming from the lan

                      but there is a few coming from the wan interface which show as

                      LAN tcp 192.168.0.71:52787 -> masked:443 ESTABLISHED:ESTABLISHED 62 / 38 6 KiB / 9 KiB
                      WAN tcp masked:52740 (192.168.0.71:52787) -> masked:443 ESTABLISHED:ESTABLISHED 62 / 38 6 KiB / 9 KiB

                      LAN tcp 192.168.0.71:52806 -> masked:443 ESTABLISHED:ESTABLISHED 159 / 159 11 KiB / 31 KiB
                      WAN tcp masked:18966 (192.168.0.71:52806) -> masked:443 ESTABLISHED:ESTABLISHED 159 / 159 11 KiB / 31 KiB

                      LAN tcp 192.168.0.71:52936 -> masked:443 ESTABLISHED:ESTABLISHED 16 / 15 2 KiB / 6 KiB
                      WAN tcp masked:20288 (192.168.0.71:52936) -> masked:443 ESTABLISHED:ESTABLISHED 16 / 15 2 KiB / 6 KiB

                        So that .71 box your saying should go out vpn? Why are you masking where it went? Some p0rn site your embarrased about? Why would the dest:443 IP be your actual WAN IP?

                        Where is a connection from this .71 box - if suppose to be blocked going out your vpn... Or some other box going out your VPN?

                            .71 is my media box which everything should go out via the VPN

                            i have some other screenshots!

                              And did you vpn bounce? Do you have it set so NO connections can be made if vpn is down..

                              Existing states will have traffic go back out that connection vs through a vpn.. If your are that worried about leaking this media box from going out your wan. Then I would suggest you block it from going out your wan. So that the only way it can go anywhere is via vpn. If vpn bounces etc. Then your media box will just be not able to go anywhere.

                              Your screen shot on that vpn shows 0 current states - so yeah prob everything using existing states out your wan.

                              0/6.24 GiB

                              See here showing 17 current states out the vpn
                              0_1529661900823_statesoutvpn.png

                              From what your showing there is no states out your vpn - maybe its down??

                              What I would suggest is make sure your vpn is up... Then kill all the states from that .71 box and let it make new connections are they going out your vpn?

                                  Did you clear your OLD states??

                                  If your vpn had bounced, and your .71 client made a connection to somewhere it would be allowed to go out the wan right. What rules do you have below your policy rule that sends it out the vlan? Have to assume you allow your lan net to go out your normal wan, etc..

                                  So .71 makes a connection to 1.2.3.4... out the wan.. Even when your vpn comes back up - all connections to 1.2.3.4 will use the existing state and continue to go out the WAN..

                                  If you don't want .71 to ever use the wan even if vpn is down.. Then create a rule to block it from doing that after your vpn policy route and before your allow. Clear all your STATES!!! for the .71 box..

                                      Well your only sending TCP out your PIA... Maybe its using UDP.. Again!!!! If you do not want this .71 box to go out your wan then BLOCK below your PIA rule. this .71 source..

                                      You do understand that google can use UDP right via QUIC for its web pages.. And dns is via UDP... If you want this .71 box using your PIA then your PIA rules should be ANY.. Or yeah anything other than TCP would use your normal wan.
