I just connected using the BolehVPN software via "FullyRouted - All" and when I checked the connection using myip.dk, it showed my PC name as the "hostname".  Why is that?

Weird. Could you provide your logs from the bolehVPN app? Your IP changed though, correct?

Hi Chris,

Yes, the IP had changed.

I managed to replicate the scenario again this morning. The BolehVPN software was set to FullyRouted-All and it connected to the Switzerland servers one again.

Have you guys had a chance to look into this?

Hey, sorry about the long delay. I must have overlooked this thread. This is due to our Swiss servers having all ports open, thus myip.dk can get your PC name. Probably through either ident or Netbios. It's safe for you since it does not reveal any location. Could be any name really.

Not a problem and thanks for the update, Chris.

Try to turn off everything in your vpn network adapter settings except IPV4.
