Probably a complete noobie question.
I'm running TOR browser 7.5. The browsers states
Congratulations. This browser is configured to use Tor. Your IP address appears to be: xx.xx.43.164
But when I go to IP4.ME it states
You are connecting with an IPv4 Address of: yy.yy.78.21
Why the difference?
Tor Browser uses a different circuit for each domain (essentially "website") you visit.
If you read somewhere that "Tor (Browser) uses a new circuit every 10 minutes", that is a statement so oversimplified that it is incorrect.
