Google Play Store Devices - country check

[airwaves 0]

Hi,

 

I noticed a strange problem when accessing (via my Mac) the google play store for devices.

I am located in Austria and connected to a AirVPN server in Germany - when I do a IP-check I see that I am really in Germany.

 

But when I try to open https://play.google.com/store/devices I get "Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet." back.

Devices on Google Play are definitely available in Germany so I think the country IP-check from Google fails...

 

The strange thing is though that when I connect to a UK AirVPN Server (where Devices on Google Play are also available) - the store is working fine...

 

Any ideas? 

 

Thanks in advance & Regards,

airwaves

i can confirm what you observed.

 

i live in austria as well and have problems accessing the german google play store. UK store is working fine and even allows me to proceed to checkout

 

may google have blocked the ip addresses of german airvpn servers?

I'm in the U.S. and got the same results from Aquilae, Tauri & Velorum using Firefox and Opera with Geo-Location (supposedly) off.

https://play.google.com/store loaded but ./devices generated the same message you recieved.

Oddly, it loaded pages in English. When I connected to the Netherlands the pages were not in English but ./devices would not load.
