[dba-Tech] Law of Unintended Consequences

I'm using Google's VP1 VPN. Since implementing it (I'm near San Diego, BTW)
I've been getting some odd search results - looking for some shoes locally
the browser thinks I am in some other state. A Nationwide survey came up in
Mandarin. The weather site thinks I'm in D.C.

Realized that, I think, with a VPN your location is where the IP is that
received by the site. Is this correct?

Inconvenient, but not very. I hope running a VPN has some other advantage
because I don't see any other difference in my browsing results.
