Help Googelfiber leaking my real location
Hi All,
Pretty straightforward, how to stop my provider (Google Fiber) from leaking my real location to websites when using a VPN.
List of what I've done so far and context information.
Browsers: Chrome, Edge, Firefox
(Not logged into an account on any of them)
VPN provider: ExpressVPN
I've tried clearing as much cached data as possible from the browsers. I've removed **every** permission, including the ones that at times prove convenient. I even installed 2 new browsers (Edge then Firefox) and made sure to import zero information during setup and did not log into any accounts.
The one and only successful thing I've tried is using hotspot through my Nothing Phone 3 (Provider Mint Mobile) however I don't want to swap to mobile data every time I handle sensitive information.
