Hijacked LAN IP
***This issue has already been posted but it is still unanswered*** My router is producing false DDoS in the log but something strange is happening that I don’t understand. When either of my two iPh...
I can't imagine it being the router if the LAN IP is unchanged when I'm on a VPN and the VPN only changes the external IP after it leaves the home network...so It only happens when the iphone connects to an external source. The VPN wouldn’t have an effect if the router were assigning the IP to the phone since the VPN only functions after data leaves the modem/router. The LAN IP would chould regardless if it were a router issue.
VPN runs on a different network layer.
as for me, i was able to narrow it down to my iphone due that i reset it to default and upon first connection to activate, the ip was changed within seconds.
If you are using a VPN, then your IP Address will certainly change to the subnet that is being used by the VPN provider. Once disconnected from the VPN, then your phone's ip should show the router subnet. That's they a VPN connection should work.
