#1
Hey

Just wondering why GS thinks I'm in Saudi Arabia?

Last time I looked out the window it was the same cold England as always lol.

Ive got my VPN set to London UK.

Whatever VPN server you're connected to, their IP shows up in a geo-ip database that might not be accurate, or your VPN is actually in another country. More than likely the geo-ip database isn't right.

Ive only been using a VPN for a month now so still learning all the ins and outs of it.

In a nutshell it makes your computer appear as if it were somewhere else. The flag thing is just based off a public database of where IP addresses are, my wordpress does the same thing but sometimes they're wrong....

I’m now showing as in Scotland. I don’t mind, but I don’t want @Bookworm to get his hopes up that he can pop round for a cup of tea and a hobnob.

Wouldn't it be nice if GS worked like a teleporter? Change your flag to where you want to go, and 'boom', you're there.

@andy should implement this feature.

Hey guys, it should be fixed now! Smile
