Google detects my location as Tehran (Iran) instead of France

[ecteli]

Hello! I'm experiencing the following issue:

Hiddify Version: 10.80.11
My Server: VPS located in Strasbourg, France
Client Setup: I'm using the Hiddify App for macOS, with Reality protocol
Region Settings: macOS Hiddify App region is set to Russia, and I’m physically located in Russia
Problem:
When browsing the web through Hiddify, Google constantly detects my location as Tehran, Iran, even though my server is in France.

What I've already checked:
My real outgoing IP (via curl ifconfig.me) shows the correct French IP address
No DNS or WebRTC leaks (checked via browserleaks.com)
No use of Iranian proxies or upstream servers (as far as I can tell)
"Block Iranian Sites" option is disabled
Question:
Why is Google identifying my IP as Iranian, and how can this be fixed? Is there anything misconfigured in Hiddify or related to Reality protocol that might cause this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Your real ip is located in Russia? sometimes proxy mode, (Not TUN Mode) will expose your real DNS

@UltimateABC , thank you for your help! After investigating further, here’s what resolved the issue:

Reinstalled Hiddify Panel with the "Block Iranian websites" option disabled during setup.
Confirmed TUN Mode is active (to prevent DNS leaks in proxy mode, as you mentioned).
Google now correctly detects the French VPS IP without Tehran redirection.
Key Takeaway:
The Iranian geolocation likely stemmed from either:

The now-disabled Iranian site blocker (misinterpreted by Google as Iran traffic).
DNS leaks in proxy mode (fixed by enforcing TUN Mode).
To the Hiddify Team: Thank you for the prompt support! For now, the issue is resolved. I’ll reopen this thread if it resurfaces.

(Closing as resolved)
