Always connects to US - Githubissues

nicandris commented 1 year ago

Hey I noticed that the VPN always connects to US. I tried a few countries but it's always US

Any ideas of what could be wrong here?

I'm looking into your issue. I'm able to replicate it.

After some testing I have determined it to be the Smart DNS. CyberGhost only has Smart DNS for DE, JP, NL, GB, and US. As a result the DNS was defaulting to US. You can add a custom DNS with the ENV variable 'NAMSERVER=1.1.1.1" where 1.1.1.1 is CloudFlare.

It was always grabbing the correct server from CyberGhost, but the Smart DNS was affecting the Location. I'm working on trying to update the CyberGhost CLI to 1.4.1, and will add some improvements to this.
