Replying to [comment:7 Chai T. Rex]:
> Yes, I was trying to open it with the default video player application
both times. I've retried with the Orfox downloader instead and the IP
address no longer leaks.

> Could Orfox generate a warning message when an external application is
about to be invoked in a way that could leak the IP address?
Yes, I agree, thanks for reporting this! I opened #26529 for implementing
that.
I'm closing this as `not a bug` because this isn't a proxy-bypass within
Orfox, itself. This is a general usability problem that we'll improve in
#26529.
