When you switch servers automatically, the stream or download might briefly display your current IP address before settling on the new location.

If you lose connection during a switch, it might be safe to disable the VPN's kill switch. This could protect your IP address.

It includes a kill switch and all components are linked to the TAP adapter. However, you still face delays in connecting unless it stops the download briefly enough for a handshake and link setup. I can't observe this in detail because such actions occur in milliseconds.

It depends on how the system is configured behind the scenes. You might experience disconnection and reconnection patterns, or your current sessions could stay active while new ones use a different address. If you don’t notice a sudden drop-off like during a live transfer, it suggests the existing session or WAN-IP is still being used. You can confirm this with tools like Wireshark.
