Hotspot with chinese time local

Help Fairphone 6
1

Hi,

for some reason when I turn on the hotspot on my FP6 and connect my laptop it goes to China. See below. My region is italy so I am clearly not in China at the moment, if I connect back to wifi or any other phone my local time shifts back. This means that somehow my operator’s public IP address is incorrectly registered as Chinese in a geolocation database. Does this depends on windows of the phone? :smiley:

Is there any active background chinese VPN?

This is clearly annoying as calendar meetings and timing in mails start to change and I get easily lost.

Thanks
Mauro

Welcome to the Community Forum :waving_hand:

For a start, is your FP6 on Fairphone’s own “Android OS” or on eOS? The latter comes with some presettings that obfuscate your location in the “Advanced Privacy” settings.

Hi, thanks for your reply, I have the standard Android OS from the manufacturer updated to Android 16. I don’t have much customization on these things, so no VNP or other stuff like (adguard DNS). I was browsing in the security and privacy setting and also advanced protection and I could not find anything. I have the developer mode active just to play around with my own apps (if this can help).
