@mutli even tho your opera will prolly pass dns leak test & WebRTC leak test.. and most likely they are looking for the language setting of the browser..

But does the page you visit have n e HTML5 API which is used to draw graphics and animations on a web page via scripting in JavaScript..

Your preferred language in browser settings is German?

How does the Website know about my german origin? i‘m using the vpn that opera provides within the private window and choose an american location.

I changed WebRTC from upper to lower setting, restart the Browser, but unfortunately the detection remains ...
btw: i asked the helpline of one of those sites about that issue, getting the answer "there is a language setting on the website ..." and they want a 5 star rating for that

See if that helps.
