So this indicates that we see a handshake (hoooorrrrraaaaayyyyyy!). In the Fritzox on the other side, my VPN host, it shows a successful connection. But https://whatismyipaddress.com/ still shows the same exit point as before.
I have no idea what "Fritzbox on the other side" is nor what is "exit point".
The FritzBox is a quite popular DSL/cable modem in Germany. I connect to this box ('the box on the other side') which is located in Germany (The exit point). Whole reason for this excercise is to avoid geoblocking from german media/news websites
You did not really explain what you expected or what should be the correct result. Nor do I know what this site does and how it determines your IP address (if that is what you mean). This site seems to load some scripts.
Try e.g. https://www.showmyip.com. AFAICT it returns the address you are connected from (it returns it even when I load this page with curl).
This is quite interesting, both detect the same (IPv4) address when connected to VPN, but showmyip gives different details, e.g. location in germany, which is the expected result. Whatismyipaddress shows a IPv6 address as well, showmyip not. (I'm currently on a connection with v4 and v6). so with wg-quick I could establish a connection to the ipv6 box (on the other side), using the same .conf file as with NetworkManager, which did not work. I think I start all over again..... Thanks Axel
