[QUOTE="n8chavez, post: 932927, member: 90863"] You've kind of just illustrated my point; that a local vpn-proxy is rare. Just because a sock5 proxy is used does not mean it is used externally. A VPN and sock5 are not interchangeable. In the case of 10.x.x.x, which is private (see [URL='https://www.quora.com/Is-every-IP-address-that-is-of-the-form-10-X-X-X-a-private-IP-address?share=1']here[/URL], [URL='https://serverfault.com/questions/52631/is-it-better-to-use-the-192-168-x-x-or-10-x-x-x-address-range-for-a-small-busine']here[/URL], [URL='https://stevessmarthomeguide.com/internal-external-ip-addresses/']here[/URL], and, [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/mullvadvpn/comments/izul6l/mullvad_dns_question/']here[/URL]) you can test this very easily. Ping it. Where does it go? Is the destination external? Try using anything with the socks5 proxy address 10.8.0.1:1080 without Mullvad active. Does it go anywhere? No. [/QUOTE]
