try DOILEAK that will catch you out the ip checkers arent thorough enough, bascially the doileak checks for DNS on your browser and gives you the option to check for torrents using either TCP/UDP. If youre not running a dns your isp provider can show especially in google chrome also chrome has a vulnerability in WEB RTC you need the extension as to block it otherwise your ip can leak through that too. Edge browser is better but still can show your location as when http requests are sent if they fail location services kick in and use other protocols to locate you. Turn off location services in edge. The last vulnerability in windows 10 is if you have IVP6 enabled that can show your ip address too

heres a link to in my opinion the best sites for checking your ip

https://vpnreviewer.com/best-sites-check-ip-leaks-2016 i know its a liitle outdated but the sites are good. have extensive checks too.

I always use google dns settings on all my lan wi fi vpn adapters. It prevents dns leaks better to be safe. Especially with this get it right government campaign thats been introduced. Ive tested my vpn and dns using whatsmyip and doileak all good no issues. But there is an issue in windows 10 If you have IVP6 enabled on your adapter your dns will leak. Also the edge browser uses location services so if a request through http fails it uses other protocols to locate you. Just make sure you turn off location services then your safe. I checked torrents too tcp and udp no issues.

I have this TalkTalk router i cant even goto my default login address that doesnt work i have to reset the thing to make any changes. Its detected on my network as a Huwaii HG633. I use a dedicated linksys vpn router bridged between my TalkTalk router and my ZGemma box. Just to make sure my ip address isnt showing. Thats got so many configuration settings it can be confusing, but at least it works. The performance is affected but thats the way it goes. I used to use kodi through my vpn on my laptop but i got sick of the add ons being closed down, but it was great in the beginning.
