[tor-talk] Who is 93.114.40.75? Tor check page lists it and says I'm not using Tor. Another user reported this, too.

That's a false negative. In this case it happens because the Tor relay
exits from a different IP address than it advertises in its descriptor.

The relay in this case is "proxyleaks", and its descriptor says it's
reachable at 93.114.43.29.

The relay is multi-homed in this case: it has multiple IP addresses.
That's perfectly normal, especially for fast relays.
