The bad news is, if you’re not on Team Tux, you’re going to have to pay $60 for Brave Origin. Granted, you only need to buy it once, and you’ll get unlimited activations across all of your devices.
It’s amazing people still believe this BS.
¡Gracias, primo! Espero verte en el malecón.
It is always odd to find someone who has no clue that other people have different needs and priorities.
The real news here is that Flynn registered as a foreign agent in the first place.
Others report the same issue including someone commenting in this posting. From what I can tell Google is targeting private VPN servers on residential IPs.
I’ve used a different private VPN running on a commercial cloud server when traveling internationally. Google has never fucked with the location of that IP.
They were serving you pages in Spanish? That is really fucked up even for Google.
Do you believe a multinational company’s business polices are targeting you specifically each time you have a problem?
I believe Google specifically does this to discourage VPN use. It screws up their primary reason for existing: advertising revenue.
It’s already my primary search engine, but unfortunately it’s not a full Google replacement.
I avoid changing the MAC to pull a new address because family members actively use the VPN server via DNS and it can take a while for DDNS to update everywhere, but that’s what I’m going to have to do.
Whois correctly returns Charter Communications and every single IP location service shows a U.S. location. This is strictly Google’s fuckery.
I don’t sign in unless there’s some reason to. In this case Google is using cell towers to determine my phone’s location while in Mexico (and on my VPN) and then applying that location to everything on my Spectrum IP.
Interestingly Google has never done this when I’m using a VPN on a cloud server instead of my home server.
My neighbors (on the same Spectrum subnet) aren’t seeing this so it only affects my IP address. Google doesn’t give a crap about single user problems, in fact I think they’re doing this to discourage VPN use.
This happens on devices that have never been in Mexico. On those I took with me I’ve deleted cookies, cache, and used different browsers. Even allowing location on our phones and PCs and then updating the Google location on their website is only a temporary fix and as soon as cookies are cleared everything’s back in Mexico.
A single complex surgery can have billed charges approaching $1,000,000, and that’s if they will even perform the surgery if you’re ininsured. Your $5,000 a year won’t even cover the interest charges and your only way out if the hospital won’t reduce the debt is bankruptcy.
Wireguard on OpenWRT is pretty much set it and forget it.
I have a GL.iNET Flint 6 router running OpenWRT with multiple WG interfaces, both client and server. The client tunnels reconnect automatically and it just works. A Pi 4 in one location is set to reboot every night and the WG tunnel reconnects every time. An older router running OpenWRT is just as reliable.
Way more than 5% where I am. Canadian tourism has dropped 80%.
I live in an area with a huge number of Canadian snowbirds in a normal year. This year there are almost none.
This happens more often that people realize.
A retired friend reported hearing music in her head when there was nothing playing. Her doctor decided it was just another part of the memory decline she was experiencing.
It turned out hearing music was a known, documented overdose side-effect of one of her medications. The doctor had prescribed a combination of drugs that slowed the elimination of the problem medication and what would have been an harmless dose became mildly toxic. When the dosage was reduced the music and some other worrying side-effects disappeared.
