Nuttso Vpn with blocked connections enabled. [...] connection method for Tor Network

I've read it's better to not use TOR and VPN together. For apps like Briar or Tor browser is it better to switch VPN off ?

    So new fresh install. Everything turned of. No location service. Nothing except wifi. No sim card. VPN is set to block connections. VPN exit is set to USA. The phone is in France. Briar shows it is in France. Wtf. How do they do this?

      matchboxbananasynergy So you are saying that even if i am on a VPN, if i install a proprietary app that i want to use by limiting it as much as i can, can still detect from which country is my sim card?

          Are you sure ? Because you try with "No sim card" also and @mlario said "Only deactivation of sim or removal of sim from the phone" hide country code.

              Hat you have to use airplane mode. It still can get the network info. Without a sim you can do emergency. Just tested with a fresh phone and airplane. Didn't show the location

                If you set the language of the Android device in settings to a different one it will change the country's name in Briar as well, (after logging out/in again) it seems to be based on that, not on any network discovery.
