Lack of anonymity on the reciever #151

There's a little problem in the connection. When you are using your VPN client some websites for some reason can see your location even through Shadowsocks or Cloak

I am located in Russia and have a server in Netherlands. A lot of companies banned our country, and our country banned a lot of VPN services. So, I had to find a way to use all that services. When I was using Outline, I had no such problem, but they had another issue with dropouts.

Your service is much easier to work with and more comfortable, but I can't use websites like:

They are for some reason can see my location. When I used Surfshark I had no such problem on the same hardware. Even right now Surfshark is banned in Russia, but for those websites I am still using it in my web browser, passing it through my server in Netherlands, thanks to your software.

It would be awesome to use only your software and will be glad for this issue to be resolved.

Also it doesn't work on OpenVPN client, through my phone. Idk, maybe a problem with a protocol, but this is quite important for a service based on the concept of anonymity

P.S. Installed WireGuard, same thing. Maybe that's why: image

Idk how they are getting data about geolocation, possibly from hostname. I think so, and closing that issue
