I'm using VPN and I'm always connected to Sweden. Unfortunately many websites are shown in Swedish, a language that I don't properly understand. English and Finnish are my preferred languages for viewing websites in Firefox settings. My location is identified by my IP address, is there any way to prevent this from happening? Private Internet Access doesn't have servers in Finland, I have to connect to Sweden. I disabled "geo.enabled" flag in about:config, it didn't fix my problem.

hi Snow_Gabe, you cannot avoid that websites guess your location based on your public ip address & act on this information - this is just how the internet works :-/

I pretty much knew that. I either wait that PIA opens servers in Finland or switch VPN provider.
