External IP Detection

So I used PIA in conjunction with qbittorrent and, today, I noticed that my home IP seems to be popping up in the execution log. Both my VPN and qbittorrent are the most recent versions. Anyone have any clue what could be happening?

How does it pop-up? If your interface (your network card) gets the IP, it will show up in the log.
- Make sure to use interface binding in Advanced Settings. Set it to your VPN.
- You should verify your IP by using these "magnets":

Simply grab the magnet, click Trackers on the bottom in qBittorrent and it shows your IP. (And the website also.)
