Would you consider this a leaking VPN?

    Hi,

    I use Windscribe pretty much everyday. Yesterday I found that if I start a VM, for example with Tails (and it's "unsafe" browser), and then connect via a bridged network adapter to the Internet, that website show my real IP address.
    Windscribe is supposed to have added a filter in or via the WFP that blocks all connection around the VPN network.

    Wouldn't, or shouldn't, this also block any connection a VM can establish? (bridged or not, it's inside the system and afaik WFP is very low level)
    Doesn't this pose a huge risk of deanonymisation when a certain malicious party (Microsoft) decides it wants to know more about it's user that run VPNs, by running a small program in a small VM to get around it? (Or any other party)

    Is there a way to block every potentially unknown VM from doing this? Like, even deeper stuff than WFP?


    Kind regards.
    PS: I know I probably don't understand something critical about bridged adapter. So please tell me. :)
