I’ve been having the weird issue where my work VPN is making my other devices location ping pong as well. My phone for example. I was trying to buy something the other day and it wouldn’t do it until i turned off the VPN because it thought i was in the wrong location.

I’ve been having issues with frame lag on my grounded personal PC and I’m trying to figure out causes, and I just had the thought of maybe that VPN is affecting my PC too, and not just my phone. VPN is literally only logged into my work PC. But I play games that have american, european, etc. servers, and I was thinking what if it’s trying to route my signal a whole bunch of weird directions because it’s thinking i’m in asia or something, and then tries to send my game data to the closest connected server, like west coast instead of east coast, and that’s what’s causing the lag.

Anyway, just a thought i was having that may not be related, but i do need it to stop doing that to my phone either way.

Hopefully someone knows what’s going on with this and how i can fix it.

Thanks!
