So, I upgrade to the paid vpngreenspot. I turned on surfshark and clicked on privacy check… the ip address was my normal unprotected ip address! And yet it said that “You are protected by a vpn network” I also ran an IP check software and it showed my unprotected ip address. Next test, I set up ipvanish and then in vpngreenspoot and ip check software and the ip had changed.
on my mac when i run surfshark it changes my ip address. but not onthe cube!
Glad it is working now, and thankful you were able to catch this. It is a lessen to us all to not just always assume it is secure and working…you know what they say about assuming…lol. Safety dot already paid for itself, and you have 364 days left on the sub.
Unfortunately, there aren’t really any programs out there like Safety Dot, but I feel like we will see new developers come up with similar software soon enough.
It is a blessing I guess, as I would have been in blissful ignorance that even though i had a green spot my IPaddress was still being shown. If it were not for the various buttons to click ( who can resist clicking a button!) I would not have realised there was a problem
