Even though you might be using a VPN service, Google can still see your location with the help of (ABS) or automated bot systems.
These bots are normally referred to as VPN detection bots and are designed to detect whether your IP Address is associated with a Hosted VPN Server or with your local ISP.
Google’s algorithm is smart enough to detect inconsistency in your geo-location and also identify blacklisted IP addresses.
Then what’s the point of a VPN ?
Hey there, I hope you’re doing fine. Cool username BTW. I do understand what you’re saying…but hear me out. While Google can technically see your location even if you connect to a VPN server, it won’t able to detect it accurately.
In a world where our privacy is fading rapidly, I’d take little anonymity over no anonymity any day.
VPN’s also prevent other websites from detecting your location. Most VPNs offer IPv4 and IPv6 leak protection that prevents websites from detecting your actual geo-location.
