Google.com.hk
Firstly, I have been using a VPS recently to act as a wireguard tunnel for my laptop and phone. I do this for a few reasons, but namely to tunnel my traffic when traveling. However, I have run into a micro issue.
Enter our delirious overlords; Google.com
For some reason, google.com believes I am using the wrong TLD and forcing me onto google.com.hk. This also begins forcing all prompts into Chinese. Even when I revert it back, it seems to snap back to thinking it needs to go to google.com.hk.
I assume this is related to the IP address of the VPS on Dedipath but I have had this issue elsewhere.
So beyond me changing my default search engine, is there any fix for this?

Change browser 🙂👍
Negative Captain, this doesn't seem to help at all.
I go to the correct TLD when I am not on the VPN.
Try this: https://www.google.com.hk/preferences?hl=en

If language is the issue then suggest to change the lang to en or something else.
Geolocation issue, check what maxmind etc says where it is.
If its incorrect, talk to your Provider to correct it.
From a few months to never, it will eventually be fixed.

I figured as much, but was hoping for a solution.
Everything i have found suggests the IP sees it is in USA.
Use this: https://www.google.com/ncr
NCR: no country redirect

Should be able to hit https://www.google.com/ncr, which sets a cookie to not trigger a geolocation redirect.

Thank you! This fixed it!
Yo, use
google.com/ncrto disable region preferOntario Dildo Inspector
speaking about
ncr, would it be possible to set up a firewall rule to force redirect any google.com requests to google.com/ncr?(so my wife won't be complaining about google thinking she is in another country)

Or even better, a DNS entry.
nah DNS doesn't do anything beyond the domain name.

It'll probably eventually fix itself. This happened to me when I was using a RackNerd box to relay, and for a while Bing thought my GCV box was in China (totally breaking Bing since it threw me into a redirect loop)
We are talking about Google, dude.
