no? that's not how that works at all. it shows up as ([VPN IP]), end of story. the only time any other ip shows up is if you happen to also edit the comment as well, and then it shows a secondary ip.

go test it out in a journal you can fuck around in. log ips, make a post/comment on one of your journals, view the ip. then edit it. do one with the vpn on, one with it off. that's the only time it shows anything secondary. the whole point of a vpn is to hide your ip. it's not going to show up as your original if you're using one. mods are going off of 'this ip has shown up a lot and if i look it up, it's in a sussy vpn area like la or russia'.
