[QUOTE="MuzzMelbourne, post: 984135, member: 94561"] Ok, repeated the same exercise but, this time using my iPhone on 4g, no VPN to buzz my iPad on wifi with VPN. Same result. I would have expected at least some sort of connection as, technically, they are independent devices, net’wise. Leads me to the question, what use is it to naughty people knowing my IP address and why the need for secrecy? [/QUOTE]
