This is leakage because they're going behind your VPN Provider. This is leakage since it goes beyond your router. For example, this is how "true" leakage would work: You (192.168.1.2) -> YourRouter (2.2.2.2) -> Skype -> Callee (person you call)Ĭallee -> Look at Skype -> I see 192.168.1.2 So let's jump back to "leakage." Define what you mean by leakage. The reality is, even if Skype doesn't tell me your IP address, I can open up Wireshark or TCPDUMP to figure out who you are.

The latest versions of Skype have addressed "hiding your IP"

Steffen already answered the VPN portion of this question, so I will answer the Skype portion of it.
