Choosing 'United States' in VPN causes Google & other sites to display results in Ukrainian

Hi,

I am running Opera 47.0.2631.55 (PGO) on Windows-10 64-bit Pro.

2 Concerns:

[Concern #1]: When the VPN feature is enabled and when I choose the VPN country to be 'United States', the auto-assigned IP Address is always 142.0.194.94 (ISP/Host: Servers.com, Dallas, Texas, USA). And, yet whenever I access any Google site - and especially Google.com - I get auto-routed to Google's Ukrainian site (google.com.ua). And, that makes Google return search results in Ukrainian, not English. Same problem when I go to many other legitimate websites. Why do Google and so many other websites equate Opera's USA VPN selection to Ukraine?

[Concern #2]: When I choose the VPN country to be 'Canada', the auto-assigned IP Address is always somewhere in the United States (ISP: Digital Ocean, Host: 138.197.162.41, New York City, New York, USA). And, that prevents me from accessing Canada-only sites.

Please fix these promptly. Thanks much in advance.

Jimmy
