VPN connected but really isn't?

[canadianbacon22]

Hey there guys,

I recently upgraded from Sana to Rolling on a fresh install. So, I began adding back all of my usual files, VPNs to be specific. I usually use this command to make my Network Manager allow me to make VPN Connections

aptitude -r install network-manager-openvpn-gnome network-manager-pptp network-manager-pptp-gnome network-manager-strongswan network-manager-vpnc network-manager-vpnc-gnome

So I used the auto-config files provided by my provider, and everything was nice and dandy. Until I tried testing it. I noticed when using geo-locater websites, like "ipinfo.info", it still says my home I.P. address. I then tried to configure the connections manually but even then it still doesn't work. So, here I am.

I did notice that I had to restart Kali because it wouldn't allow me to connect to any of the connections at first, but then after the restart everything seemed fine. I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same trouble.

Also, I am using Kali as the main OS on my laptop. And the only repo I am using is the official Kali rolling, not the old Sana.

I'm having the same issue. It's stating VPN connection is established but it's really not. I'm using cyberghost also

I am having the same issue. Been working on it all night and it's driving me crazy. I'm using PIA for my VPN. It says it connects fine, but when I check my actual public IP is still showing on whatsmyip.org. I don't know what else to try.
