<![CDATA[All VPN countries via Ukraine]]>I'm currently having a problem where anything that depends on google (search, youtube, etc) is routed thru Ukraine (.ua google domain) regardless of the selected country in the Opera VPN. I'm not in Ukraine nor anywhere near it. this started happening about a month ago. Not using Opera's VPN or using any other VPN works as expected. Anybody knows what's going on?

As listed on several sites I checked, my headers are

Host	www.procato.com
Connection	close
User-Agent	Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) 
  Chrome/61.0.3153.0 Safari/537.36 OPR/48.0.2670.0 (Edition developer)
Accept	*/*
Accept-Language	en-US,en;q=0.8
Referer	http://www.procato.com/my+headers/
Accept-Encoding	gzip

(The site listed in Referer is the one I copied this from.)

So apparently Google is just presuming people using the Opera VPN are Ukrainian.

I have a site in my bookmarks which will list my headers, I'll try it when I'm done here.

Google is in Cyrilic! This has been going on for at lease 2-3 months. I have noticed that me email "Junk" has increased tremendously in the last month - especially ones from foreign countries.

I'm an Opera user in the US using the built-in VPN. The virtual location I selected is "United States" so this is perplexing. When I attempt to use Google products, my traffic is routed through a server in Ukraine. A ."ua" is added to the end of google.com, and the text menus in Google Drive are in Ukrainian. I've been able to replicate this on multiple computers.

In addition to the problem described above, I have found logins on Facebook from Iran and China

And those logins happened while you were using Opera with VPN turned on? I don't think they have servers on those countries so maybe it's not related to the VPN?

Is all our traffic going through the Ukraine now?

Well, it's not happening here so I guess the answer is no.

I first noticed this about a week ago (~ July 18 2017) when I tried to go to www.google.com and saw a page full of Cyrillic characters.

Is all our traffic going through the Ukraine now? :-p It makes me very distrustful of Opera browser as a whole.

More than a bit alarming since the US is currently having serious issues with both countries.

Everything google is directed thru Ukraine when the VPN is enabled even after all third party data, cookies & browser history were manually deleted.

As for how the browser deletes cookies on exit:

Settings/Basic/Cookies/Keep local data only until I quit my browser

The setting is doubled and can also be found at

Settings/Privacy & Security/Cookies/Keep local data only until I quit my browser

I wonder if all this mess might have anything to do with Opera using Yandex.ru for some of its tasks

The browser is set to delete cookies & cache on browser exit

How?

Anyway, third part data is not related to cache and cookies necessarily.

  • The browser is set to delete cookies & cache on browser exit and
  • It happens with the Opera browsers on all my 5 computers.

BTW, Opera updated to version 46.0.2597.57 after I posted this question and the problem persist
