I’ve been using windscribe for years. Well, I wanted to give AVG Vpn a try, it’s far cheaper than Windscribe.
However, when I connect to, let’s say, the US server which is not my physical location at all, the websites including youtube, british council, google, amazon, prime video etc. are still able to locate my physical location. This happened even after I removed all cookies and history etc. This never happened with windscribe or proton vpn. i ran a test on ipleak.net and there wasn’t any leaks. I tried another browser and the results were the same.
Why is this happening? technical or nontechnical answers are welcome.
ps: the reason I’m asking this on windscribe subreddit is I just follow this subreddit for a while and I admire the great answers. I’ll also ask this to avg support by e mail.
