Let's look into why your VPN doesn't change IP addresses, @Er654321.
It appears that the AT&T ActiveArmor mobile security app has a known issue that can be resolved on its own. It typically works if you delete the app, restart your device and reinstall the app again.
Search for the AT&T ActiveArmor mobile security app in play store.
Tap Update.
If that didn’t work, you may have to clear more settings:
Tap Settings then Application manager/Apps.
Scroll to the All section and tap Google Services. (It may say Google Services Framework, Google Connectivity Services, or Google Play Services.)
Tap Clear Data and then Force Stop.
Go back to the list of apps under your device settings and select Google Play Store.
Tap Clear Data, then Force Stop.
Turn your phone off and back on. (This is important!)
Open the Play Store and try updating the AT&T ActiveArmor mobile security app again.
The IP address that's associated with your VPN will not change unless you get a new gateway or purchase a block of static IP's. To view your addresses, open the Smart Home Manager app on your device. Go to Network then select Connected devices. Choose the device you want the IP address for. Scroll to Device info to see the IP address.
Hello @Er654321, we want to help you with your VPN the ActiveArmor app.
Enabling Safe Browsing in the app should help resolve this error you're receiving. Here's how:
Click the Settings option.
Go to the Safe Browsing option and toggle it ON.
The VPN feature has two separate components. Secure Wi-Fi VPN and Safe Browsing. Secure Wi-Fi VPN activates automatically when connected to the network. Safe Browsing is always active. Due to this split configuration, you may see the VPN as disconnected in Android or iOS settings. Secure VPN disconnects automatically when you leave open Wi-Fi networks.
Att Active armor is on the phone. Wifi security and safe browsing are on and green. I am connected to a hotspot with a password. The VPN is enabled in my settings(Att Active armor is the only one on my phone).
When I search my IP is is the same as when I have the VPN turned off.
