If using a VPN, shouldn't my location be in some random country I select if it's working properly? I turned it on and googled food near me and it's throwing me the Jack-in-the-crack up the street rather than the wackarnalds in Thailand
Google didn't really break it down like that to give me a solid answer. Google doesn't know everything...but it knows too much.
Near as I can tell or know that should have been IP based answer so it sounds like your VPN isn't on. I traveled across the country in April and just asked google every morning to find Breakfast near me and it did. LMAO easy pezy . BNW
wondering if google could be using the location services instead of ip. Location services would instantly tell google physically where they're at. OP - if you go to google.com and type what's my ip - then turn on your VPN and google "whats my ip" again it should change. If it doesn't, you gots a problem.
It should change it to whatever country you pick man lol, If I pick Germany as my location I get German advertisements on Spotify so I know it's working
The location used is just the location data collected from the IP address, Mobile Network, or GPS; or a combination of these. So if your device is setup to use the GPS signal as part of the location, then changing the IP address won't do anything.
Make sure your Mac address changes, otherwise what's the point of changing just then up via vpn Sent from my Pixel 3a using Grasscity Forum mobile app
A very much catch-22 issue you pay and then can be tracked thru your cc go free and the service? is crap back when ...I used Anchor Free but is much harder than with a cheap pc, and you have so many hidden Id's on a phone in fact my iphone has 3 cameras and 9? antannie/aerials
Yeah I just said to hell with it. If any agency wants to track me down for my miniscule personal grows, go for it. The world doesn't have time for me.
un less you work for your govt use a china vpn it will be a long day in hell when china hands over whitemans Ip's to Trump and crew .....lol China owned Opera browser has a 'free' Vpn attached but in truth learn to write you own proxy address is ezy pinch, and ezy done in opera lol same bull is going down with Huawei phones and Zoom app secure for weedites but not 4 spies good luck It would be seen as smart for mercian illegal growers to 'proxy' Canada a legal grow state
if you like google much you can ask them to send you everything to do with your pc and ip all your searches everything ...lol be warned ...buddy thats a shitload ...lol and there are other search engines better safer and quicker too
I use private internet access for my vpn So far so good. But I don't know a lot about vpn's I have mine set to another country and my internet speed/computer runs the same as if the vpn was off. DO NOT USE name cheap. They are garbage! It took 2-3 minutes for web pages to load when I was using name cheaps vpn.
