Comment (by Chai T. Rex):
Yes, I was trying to open it with the default video player application
both times. I've retried with the Orfox downloader instead and the IP
address no longer leaks.
Could Orfox generate a warning message when an external application is
about to be invoked in a way that could leak the IP address?
