Shouldn’t your app just let you pick the location?

I liked that they had special privacy tech other VPNs don’t have but they didn’t allow you to choose the location so it was unusable for me.
I want my VPN location to be my actual location so that the weather app doesn’t mess up and show the wrong city.

Your weather app should be using your location services which should be based off GPS not your IP address?

Sometimes location services uses your Internet connection to figure out where you are. Imagine you’re deep in a corporate building. GPS wouldn’t work in there. In this case, IP-based location services to the rescue!

That’s fair
