Tunnelblick VPN Client on a Mac does not change the public IP
confI have followed the help link https://kb.netgear.com/25389/Enabling-VPN-service-on-a-Nighthawk-router-using-a-MAC-OS-computer However, my public IP is still the same. I did some researches ...
Netgear support contacted me and mentioned the VPN is acutaully to be used outside of your home network. It's not about to hide your IP to some privacy concerns.
I have the same issue only with my Mac OS. I have openvpn on my iphone and when connected to the vpn and i go to www.ipchicken.com, it shows my home IP address. when i do the same on my Mac i get an error about the ip address not changing. so i check with ipchicken and its the IP of the local router im connected to.
I sent the logs to tunnleblick and the issue is this error
NOTE: unable to redirect default gateway -- VPN gateway parameter (--route-gateway or --ifconfig) is missing
what needs to be change to fix that
