So I've installed it. I'm tunneling to another country. Vytal says everything is correct for country B. However the site I'm testing posting to still detects that I'm outside their country. And I can't work out how :/
- BlueGh0st 4y agoPerhaps try a DNS leak test?
- beatthatflight 4y agoI use google DNS - surely that's mostly agnostic? I think I've worked out how tho. They detect VPN/proxies, where there are plenty of libraries to do so. So I tried creating a VPS in the same city as them last night, used freakin' lynx on a terminal so sans-Javascript, and lo and behold, still detected that I wasn't in their country :/

- thrdbndndn 4y agoVery few websites/services actually use location to test geo-restriction (especially on browser. it's more common for mobile apps). The most common reason why you VPN didn't work is that they simply block IP ranges of common used (proxy) servers. They also can check if the IP is "Native IP" (means it's actually registered in the country that the server is in.)
