Hey Robi, There are a few potential causes, but I would suspect that your VPN wasn’t actually connected the entire time you had Freenet running (this is a common issue with VPNs), and during the time when the VPN wasn’t connected, your VPN software didn’t block internet traffic, which allowed that traffic to go out over your normal internet connection from your real IP address. Some VPN software does try to block traffic whenever the VPN connection goes down, so that would be something to ask your VPN provider about (or find one that offers that feature if yours doesn’t offer it).
The thing that says “you are wide open to your immediate peers” is unrelated, it’s simply a warning that you were using Freenet in opennet[1] mode, which doesn’t offer as much protection against monitoring as darknet[2] mode.
