I was checking some things with the (Chromium) inspect tool and I saw that if you go to the 'Network' section the IP address wasn't the actual DNS A (IPv4) or AAAA (IPv6) IP address but the Proxy IP address of the VPN company I'm using.

Since the connection is HTTPS, the certificate is the correct one (e.g. https://duckduckgo.com is DigiCert with and without connecting to the HTTP proxy), is it possible that the proxy can see HTTPS traffic?

It is not an HTTPS proxy, and I didn't install any root certificate to use the HTTP proxy.

Thanks in advance

Additional informationMy client software setup:

  • Chromium-based browser
