Real location still visible

Why is my real location still visible for websites

If websites still detect your real geolocation then you probably have not set your browser profile correctly. This problem is often caused by the proxy, which is not correctly attached to the browser profile.

1

Check proxy settings

In the ‘Proxy’ tab make sure you have selected one of the options: HTTPS proxy, Socks 4, or Socks 5, and that you have actually added a proxy to the profile.

2

Check timezone

In the tab Advanced > Browser & Navigator go to Timezone and confirm that the time zone is entered based on the IP address you added to the browser profile. You can also manually change the time zone, but note that adjusting this yourself entails risks if you do this incorrectly.

3

Relaunch and check

Once you have completed these two steps, relaunch the browser profile and check your geolocation at:
