local ads showing although on VPN

[ana.pofuk 0]

I'm currently in China and use airvpn. According to iplocation.net and similar sites, it seems like I'm browsing from Europe.

 

The issue is that local (Chinese) banners occur when I open some of the European sites. I've tried everything I could think of - history, cookies, etc have been removed on several occasions, computer and browsers restarted as well, while the VPN browsing is always performed in a private window. In addition, I often get the local search results. Tools like Chrome's "Close All & Clean" also don't help at all in this case.

Does it mean that this VPN is not functional and are there any steps to resolve this issue? Or should I not be worried at all?

 

Thank you

1. Check for DNS or geolocation leaks on ipleak.net

2. Check your browser's accept-language header. If Chinese (zh) shows up there: change your browser's preferred languages/locales

Would the 'ublock origin' plug in help at all?

Is your browser in chinese? Please follow sheivoko's 2nd step

It seems it's a leak. What can be done about that?

Here's a screenshot from ipleak.net

So, you seem to be leaking through both WebRTC and DNS.

 

uBlock Origin, an addon available for both Firefox and Chrome/Chromium, can stop the browser from leaking IPs through WebRTC:

 

 

 

 

Fixing the DNS leak depends on how you connect to AirVPN. Are you already using the AirVPN Eddie client software? What's your operating system?

Are you logged into any google ( or facebook ) service while this happens? both companies serve ads based on a profile they build on you which is why you sometimes gets foreign language ads after going on vacation in a forging country

If you don't respond to people's suggestions or questions, it's unlikely anyone will be able to help you.

anyway, here's the whole list of facts:

 

with uBlock, there are no more webrtc leaks

i am not logged into any services like facebook or google, ads are still showing

 

DNS is still leaking

the problem is same with openvpn and airvpn software, i can use any if it makes any difference

OS is Win 10
