Nginx sees OpenVPN linux client with its public IP address while android client is seen with private VPN IP address

I've set up the following virtual server in my NGINX conf:

server {
   listen 80;
   listen [::]:80;   
   server_name ip.myserver.com; 
   location / {
     default_type text/plain;
     return 200 "$remote_addr\n";
   }
}

The idea is that I have some other virtual servers that I want to access only using the OpenVPN connection which is on the same machine. Using this test site, it should display the private IP address (or public if not connected to the VPN).

My Android phone works perfectly:

While connecting to the site without VPN connection it displays the following: 192.0.2.222. (It has another address in reality, of course.)

When connecting to the site using the VPN connection, the following is displayed 10.8.0.3, this is the correct result as it is showing that the device is using the VPN connection and since the VPN service and Nginx server are on the same machine, Nginx sees the private IP of the VPN.

When doing this on my Linux machine, it displays the Linux machine's public IP address when connecting to the server without a VPN connection, and when connecting with a VPN connection it displays the server's public IP address, which is not what I expected.

I suspect there's something wrong with the way OpenVPN is configured on my Linux laptop, as the Android phone is working fine.
