NewGrapher77 evalda thank you for doing the test. I tried doing it on my laptop in an virutal box using a Tor browser and it still detected my country. I have no clue how this is happening. I'm using an VPN then Tor browser. Is it my VPN? But if I used Tor shouldn't that exclude all possibilities?
evalda NewGrapher77 If you created an account in Reddit app on your phone with a SIM card the app can know the country from the SIM card. If you later use this same account on a desktop over Tor, the country is already associated with that account.
NewGrapher77 redfoxjumper I don't want to put all this effort for a reddit account but I'm just puzzled to how and where is reddit getting info from?
NewGrapher77 O evalda did you use a VPN too? I'll update with a reply if I ever find a solution for this
evalda NewGrapher77 Yes, in all tests I used a VPN with a server in a country not matching the country of SIM card or the country where the phone was purchased.
