Traffic exits via a VPN server in another country
Sometimes you land on a far-away server without noticing. Result: slow video, odd language defaults on websites, and services blocking you.
Try this first
- 1Open a browser and search "what is my ip". Wrong country? You are on the wrong VPN exit.
- 2Open your VPN client and explicitly choose the Dutch server or "closest".
- 3Disconnect and reconnect. Sometimes a client sticks on an old region.
- 4Mention this to your IT contact if it repeats; could be DNS or geo-routing.
