I built a OpenVPN server on an Ubuntu 16.04 server, but my IP address still shows as my house. What am I doing wrong?

Posted on April 9, 2020

I followed the digital ocean guide and my openvpn log on my windows machine says it is successfully connecting to the server; however, after connecting when I check where my IP address is coming out of it still shows my home location. Additionally, some web pages will not load or are blocked. I also tried adding the block-outside-dns line of code in client1.ovpn file on my windows machine, still no luck. Any ideas?
