I think I got my answer below:

Why isn’t my ip address changing within Kodi?

When dealing with network-connected devices, you have an external ip address and an internal ip address. The VPN software will change your external ip address which is the address that your Internet Service Provider assigns to your connection.

An internal ip address is the address that your router assigns to all devices within your network.

You only need to be concerned about your external ip address when using Kodi and this is what the VPN should be masking.

I have a question about the use of a VPN. Where does it install? I have 3 Android devices all connected to router.Does it install on my CPU in Windows?
