Vodafone 3G showing you are surfing from UK

[vikrant]

while browsing internet on Vodafone 3G datacard, i am intimated that your browsing location is either UK or US (as if i am browsing from UK or US instead of India) How is this possible ?

i have never entered any such settings nor am i using proxy/VPN which may divert my location elsewhere ?

has anyone encountered such a scenario...

p.s. this setting is obviously annoying me, as every now & then i'm supposed to adjust my location country setting ~ only for the sake of vodafone 3G.

can anybody point the cause or solution to this.

p.s. i am a newbie here, and this being my fresh start, may not be aware of all the things. kindly guide ~ if so.

Vodafone 3G uses a proxy server which is based in UK/US. So your location will be shown so.

^ ask the vodafone CC to assign you Indian IP address, but I don't think they can.

You could use an Indian proxy if you are so desperate. But using an Indian proxy means you'll get shitty bandwidth, real shitty.

Try running spotify/pandora,hulu/netflix,if that works you don't have to worry about tunneling anymore.

...and yes you can always use an Indian proxy when needed.
