> *VPNs for IP masking.

ah yes, a great counterpoint because users so often don't use a different IP address under their VPN.

Leaking IP addresses is only a security issue for kinds of VPN that are meant to hide these.

For corporate VPNs, virtual private networks or just datacenter routings its no problem since they are for other purposes than masking your IP.
