Using Opera 51 with VPN but website Content Not Available

When I access a website using VPN I expect that site to be unaware of my location......but I get a message saying 'This content not available in your location'.....It looks like this site knows where I am from or at least I'm not from where they expect.
Have I missed a step in setting things up?

@plumtreed There are ways for a site to know if you are using a VPN/proxy. Also, since you can no longer set a country, watching content available only in a specific location may be difficult.

As I use Opera/VPN more and more I find that the websites arrive in other languages, French, Russian(Cerilic) and others........Is this the same problem?

@plumtreed They are just thinking that the connection is coming from such places.

This location selection feature( or lack of) makes for a less than appealing form of VPN but, as always, you only get what you pay for
