I must preface this post by saying I don’t know a lot about VPN’s and how they work but was hoping someone could explain to me why when I connect to the Mullvad South African server, I get given an IP address in the 154.47.30.0/24 range which is confirmed by visiting https://browserleaks.com/ip and https://whatismyipaddress.com/

Checking the DNS server used via https://dnsleaktest.com/ and https://browserleaks.com/dns, it shows that Mullvad’s 154.47.30.143 server is being used. This is listed as one of Mullvad’s in this list https://whoisyourvpn.com/servers/mullvad/

Why then, when I go to the proxycheck website does it report the address as belonging to PIA (PrivateInternetAccess)? Link: https://proxycheck.io/v2/154.47.30.143?vpn=1&asn=1
