Can't get rid of public IP address assigned by VPN
I recently installed NordVPN on my computers. When I have VPN turned on, speedtest.net accurately reports the VPN-assigned public IP address, ISP, and server location. Until yesterday, when I turned NordVPN off, it accurately reported my true ISP, the IP address assigned by my ISP, and server location.
On one computer, even with NordVPN turned off, the computer continues to report an IP address that I believe was assigned by NordVPN. It shows the server location that NordVPN had used, and the ISP associated with that NordVPN address. I've rebooted multiple times, rebooted my router, uninstalled NordVPN and rebooted again, but no matter what I do, I continue to get the IP address I got from NordVPN.
All of the other computers on my home network report the public IP address assigned by my ISP (US Internet). But this one desktop continues to report the one from NordVPN. And, the performance of my network connection on this computer is slowed down, as it is most of the time when I use VPN.
Any thoughts on how to get my computer back to connecting directly to my ISP and using the ISP-assigned IP address would be much appreciated.
