When I browse through Opera on Android (version 95.0.4982.87204) and go to a "What's My IP?' site I receive a Netherlands located IP. On the same phone, using a different browser, I get an Israeli located IP, as would be expected, based on my true location.
No VPN activated.

@shoham Do you have data saving turned on?

@shoham On other browsers, the IP is the same or, at least, similar?

I agreed. On gemini.google.com, the location is based on your IP if you are using it without an account and the location is Netherlands.

@leocg What is data saving. Not familiar with the setting

As I wrote - the other browser is showing a very different IP - Here are the two:

212.150.146.130

82.145.210.129

@shoham They should show the same IP, unless you are using some proxy/VPN.

@shoham Then you probably don't have it enabled, but check on settings anyway.

@leocg Data Saver was enabled.
That was that the culprit!
IP back to normal when disabled. Thanks @leoccg!
