   Of course it does.   
      
   Every time you open a webpage, the webpage knows your IP, because it   
   needs your address to send you the text and photos.   
      
   It just works that way, there is nothing wrong with that.   
      
      
   Your computer tells the web page "send me your content to my address".   
      
      
      
   An VPN is like a Postal Office Box. Letters are sent there instead of   
   your machine; then the POB sends them to your machine. Someone, in the   
   end, has to know your address.
