VPN not changing IP address

I just checked here and both whoer.net and www.ip-adress.com show the IP address of the VPN server when it's enabled.

I tried all the suggestions to no avail so I guess I have to admit defeat.
I have installed the free version of ProtonVPN which works exactly how I expected a VPN to work.
whoer.net and ip-adress.com both show a different IP address from my true address immediately VPN is connected.
No issues with cache etc and my true IP address is immediately shown when ProtonVPN is disconnected.
I can only assume that there is a setting somewhere that prevents OperaVPN mode from working although as I previously stated I tried on a different PC (same broadband connection) and that didn't work either.

Both Opera vpn and Surfeasy showed as not vulnerable in this recent article.
(https://voidsec.com/vpn-leak/) see the google doc spreadsheat below.
See article section "Some tips to follow in order to protect your IP during the internet navigation" if home ip is leaking.

There are a few on the list of free vpn's that are vulnerable.
