<![CDATA[Sites showing different region location than the one on the VPN]]>If you believe Google Maps, then Opera is often not terminating in the region (Americas, Asia, or Europe) that it claims to be. Either some of the exit nodes have been hijacked and forwarded elsewhere, or Google is using incoming data to infer (or hallucinate) where the exit node lives in geospace. I suggest discussing this observation with your VPN provider before it causes reputational damage, notwithstanding that it may very well be an illusion. Even so, Google's inferential tendencies would provide good cover for actual hijacking, so please inspect carefully.

What most sites do is to try to guess your location based on the IP range.

Since Opera VPN IP addresses are virtual and only change the final part, sites end failing on guessing the location.
