Comment on Weird Internet Behavior Starting Selfhost Server & PC's
irmadlad@lemmy.world 2 days agoHmmmm I seem to be unable to explain.
Ok. Fire up the VPN.
Do, 4 different, simultaneous, leak checks from multiple sites like Browser Leaks, dnscheck.tools, etc.
As in the picture, under ‘Your IP’. Results:
- dnsleaktest.com: xxx.xxx.xxx.123
- browserleaks.com/dns: xxx.xxx.xxx.131
- dnscheck.tools: xxx.xxx.xxx.125
- ipleak.net: xxx.xxx.xxx.122
Whereas xxx.xxx.xxx stayed the same, but the last set in the sequence was different in every test. The IP block (xxx.xxx.xxx.) was the same, just the last three digits were different in 4 different, simultaneous, tests. I realize VPN IPs change and so do Cloudflare IPs change. What I am saying is tho the IP block was the same (owned by the VPN), just the last three digits were different, even when I changed locales in my VPN.
I hope that explains what I’m trying to say.

See my other response. This is quite normal.

They have always been the same, now for years.

Then something has changed about the local deployment and concentration of the network near you. Don’t know what to tell ya 🤷
As long as the provider is the same, and your instances are using properly using DoH or DoT, you have nothing to worry about.
If you’re super concerned though, I’d be using Mullvad over Cloudflare though. Just saying.
