 Replying to [comment:5 Chai T. Rex]:
 > It was definitely my real home cable Internet address. Now it's showing
 my real Starbucks IP address. I checked what my non-Tor IP address was at
 both locations in the Chrome browser on my laptop on the same WiFi
 connection as my Android phone without using a proxy server by
 [https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+my+ip+address searching Google
 for `what is my ip address`]. It matched the real IP address revealed by
 xordern's extended check after the file download step on that page in
 Orfox.

 using something buggy on my ZTE N817 phone using Android 4.4.4, kernel
 `3.4.0-gaa480ec (wangyd@ztesuper25) (gcc version 4.7 (GCC) ) #1 SMP
 PREEMPT Wed Feb 28 15:38:36 CST 2018` `zte-kernel@Zdroid-SMT`, SW version
 `N817V1.0.0B16`.

 With a clean Orfox session I can't reproduce this proxy bypass. However,
 here is what you might have done:

 1) Tried to open the file with the video player: that leaks your IP
 address on the website
 2) Tried to download the video file over Orfox *after* you did 1).
 Interestingly in this case it is still showing my real IP address. This
 could be a bug in the website or it could be indeed a proxy bypass, I have
 not checked.
