Can someone help me with RIseUp VPN? - Nyx - 02-28-2014
I've been using RiseUp for the past little while, and I thought I was protected this whole time, and I went to check ipchicken since some kid was threatening me and wanted to be secure, and turns out even though it said I was assigned a new IP and I was connected fine and dandy my IP is the same as usual, and when I went to SpeedTest, it checked from the same location. Just wondering if there was any sort of troubleshooting I can do to fix this little error.
Thanks!

Little error? Lol. Good luck anyways.

Well, I assume it is nothing that I probably screwed up and it probably is something tiny. Though I went through the setup guide and couldn't find anything wrong...

I believe RiseUp works by re-directing it's traffic though one of it's servers. While your the traffic is going through their servers first, speedtest uses a flash object, which can give away your ip if you allow it to load.
The vpn might also be complete bollocks, haven't tried it personally

Hmm, interesting theory. Was the ip the same on speedtest.net as it was on whatsmyip.com?

If you're using a booter just to hide your ip then get a free one like hotspot. Works as good as anything else.

Hotspot Shield does work fine, but I have a tendency to turn it on and not notice, then my internet is slow as shit because it is on and it stays shit for like 2 days until I notice it is on. RiseUp just seems so simple so I'd like to stick with it.

Well would you rather have a working one or one that lies to you?
