Hi, I'm currently in China, and I don't have access to all google services unless I connected to VPN, but with my VPN on, I can't use the given website to lookup IP address, because it shows that www.whatismyip.com's server IP address could not be found. I'm wondering what should I do now. Thank you.

The exam will be administered through SFU CANVAS. The google form is just for us to know your IP; you can mail it to us. Try visiting whatismyip directly without VPN.

Also whatismyip is just one of the websites that let you know your IP; there are other websites such as 
https://nordvpn.com/what-is-my-ip/ (OR your VPN provided should provide you a way to find out your IP).

Can't you access SFU CANVAS directly without going through VPN ? If you can, then you can take the exam.

I can access canvas without VPN, I'll just submit my own IP address. Thank you so much.
