I Am Negan Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I had my VPN set on Canada and then when I went to Google the address was www.google.com.br instead of www.google.com. Why does it do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 What browser do you use? you can get Google.com (in English) for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/always-com-googlecom-in-englis/ You can Find a bunch more here For English and other languages http://mycroftproject.com/google-search-plugins.html Also you can use Add to Search Bar and add Encrypted Google witch is the one i use that's always in English. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-to-search-bar/ For Chrome Browser its little harder but this works for me . http://www.wikihow.com/Permanently-Switch-Google-Chrome-to-English-in-Korea That way it don't matter what VPN IP you use and DuckDuckGo is in English unless you change it .

Administrator DKT27 Posted June 29, 2017 Administrator Share Posted June 29, 2017 As someone who hates regional search results unless required, this one address is something I always try to remember: Quote google.com/ncr The ncr here means no country redirect. Meaning, it will always stay on google.com. The only issue here that you will need to enter it again if you have cleared your browsing data and such.

I added google.com/ncr to my bookmark and no redirect. Just www.google.com now, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Drake Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Windscribe, might leak your DNS or IP. However using a free VPN is never recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OpenVPN or IKEv2, both are really good choices. I personally use NordVPN and I like it, it supports both BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
