For example: Why when I try to visit https://www.michalnegrin.co.il (Israel) and visit pages of this website I am automatically redirected to https://www.michalnegrin.com (USA)? It's extremely disappointing for few reasons: 1. I am limited (by someone) in my choices 2. I have no other option to visit and surf the websites I want.

The site picks up your geo location by info sent by isp/browser (does not matter which). I opened the Tor browser which goes through Onion Routers 3 of them , France X2 and 1 x Sweden and it still redirected to .com Tor is about as anonymous as your going to get and less try a free proxy or find a free trial for a VPN. Not fast enough to capture the page to open up the source code but it redirects regardless and that could be political motivated since is Israel. So ya, sorry your not going to get there.

You could email them and ask. But do not think will do you any good.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
