A VPN hides your IP address, but websites can still find your real country through your web browser.
Your browser constantly shares hidden data, such as your device's local time zone, system language, and screen resolution.
If your VPN gives you an IP address from France, but your browser settings match the exact time zone and language of Ghana, websites can easily spot the contradiction.
Additionally, a vulnerability called WebRTC allows websites to bypass the VPN and request your true IP address directly from your browser to enable fast video or audio streaming.
Websites also pinpoint your location using specialized tracking files and advanced network checks.
Small files called cookies are stored on your device when you log into accounts or browse the web normally.
If you visit a website without a VPN, that site remembers your location and connects it to your profile, even if you turn a VPN on later.
Furthermore, some sophisticated websites analyze how long it takes data to travel from your device to their servers.
If the data returns too quickly for the distance your VPN claims to cover, the website knows your real location is much closer.
