external ip does not change

[krolaper]

My System:
Kernel: 5.15.0-84-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 11.4.0
Desktop: Xfce 4.16.0 Distro: Linux Mint 21 Vanessa base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy

Tell me what could be the problem.
Shadowsocks launched, added a server, connected, shows on the network, ping 48. But when checking my IP on the Internet, it shows a standard one, not a connected server. I ran it as root - it didn't help.

Don't you have extensions in your browser that can control the proxy? Custom proxy extensions take control and can ignore the system proxy.

@nanCreate No. specially checked on several standard browsers (firefox, chromium)

Try installing any extension in the browser that is able to control the proxy. (example: Proxy switcher). In the SOCKS5 settings, specify localhost and the default port 1080 (if you have not changed the default settings) and check your connection.

after entering the parameters, do not forget to save the changes by clicking on the green check mark, otherwise all changes will be lost

@nanCreate This is a solution for the browser, but not for all OS that I need. What could be the problem?
