<![CDATA[Google is still detecting my location through the VPN.]]>I started using Opera for the VPN last month and never had any problems with it until today. When I go to Google, my city and zip code are still detected. I'm not logged into anything and I deleted all of my cookies to see if that would help, but it didn't. Is there anywhere I can fix this?

This option is located in Settings > Privacy & Security > VPN.

And the guessing improves if one shares geolocation even once, but usually Google is just smart~ when it comes to IP's.

However if I click on 'My Local' icon and allow the site to get my location, my actual location (the ISP one in fact) is shown on the map, what seems to mean that Google is getting the info from somewhere else and not based on IP address.

Does it happens with all VPN locations?

Yes, I tested all of them with no luck

Do you have location services enabled by default?
Actually we were having an issue with Google thinking all VPN users were from the Ukraine, so the fact they know you're not is surprising...

My location services are set to not allow any website to track my location
