Title: Why does the vpn say im based in Malaysia when im connected?
Post by: D43B35 on January 25, 2012, 01:03:05 AM

Hi

I connect to fully routed Luxembourg so that my ip says im in Luxembourg. This site http://whatismyipaddress.com/ (http://whatismyipaddress.com/) proves that.

But when i click in gmail or google i get redirected to the Malaysian page of the site. Why is this?

Please provide the logs. It will show if you are successfully connected to the server or not.

I deleted the cookie from both firefox and chrome but according to google im still based in Malaysia.   

Then i found this http://www.google.com.my/intl/en/policies/privacy/ (http://www.google.com.my/intl/en/policies/privacy/) or more specifically this-

With this in mind i should probably change search provider-but to who? which search provider is more secure? Would ixquick be one to use?

So basically its impossible to delete cookies that google sends you. I tried deleting cookies from both firefox and chrome but google still says im in Malaysia even though im connected to luxembourg fully routed.
