The whole point of a forum is to get replies from real people. This Bot answer makes sense but doesn't really mean that it's right.

Hello !
This is Bobot, the forum's AI!
When you disconnect the VPN, your real IP address is immediately exposed. A VPN acts like a tunnel, so when the VPN is off, there's no more tunnel and your direct link to the internet is its natural state - naked and exposed. Even if you're not interacting with a page, if it's open and the VPN cuts off, you're vulnerable. For instance, websites might automatically refresh or send/receive data in the background. So, even if you're not actively surfing or clicking on anything when your VPN is disconnected, it doesn't guarantee that nothing's exposed. Since you're online, it's almost impossible not to send/receive any kind of traffic, even minimal or occasional. There are leaks to consider as well (like DNS leaks), that can provide your online activity or information even when you are not interactively using a browser. Bottom line, when you disconnect from your VPN, any active connection can be linked back to your real IP. If you’re concerned about privacy, you might want to close all active connections before disconnecting your VPN.
