      I only see my external ip.. (tried various ways , browsers, connections etc)
      dns leak says I'm using opendns, which is true and intended (but a leak)
      Now if it is an internal private host ip, certainly is no issue.
      I suspect your browser
      see this
      https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-is-my-local-ip-address
      However myip.is doesn't find my internal.
      but www.whatismyip.com does...

            Are you running proxy on pfsense? Looks like its handing over that info via X-Forwarded-For most likely.. Clearly it mentions proxy..

              Possibly webrtc, search for how to disable it in your browser.

              I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.

                @pippin Thanks for your reply.
                I want the changes network-wide instead of just the client; therefore, would not like to change browser settings per machine. How can ensure complete anonymity so the external sites do not detect the internal address?

                  @johnpoz Yes, running Squid in Transparent mode. Looked for the x-forward-for in the proxy settings, but didn't find it. Where might that settings be? Thanks.

                            I would have like to have pasted the screen shot of the above two tests, but I'm not sure how to include the screenshots on this forum.

                            Copy the image fist (hit the print screen touch on windows keyboard to have the entire screen or use the build in capture tool) and then Paste it here while your typing your post (windows PC : Ctrl-V) .

                            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                            Edit : and where are the logs ??
