Freedome gave me wrong virtual location

in F-Secure FREEDOME

Hi,

 

I use Freedome with Windows7x64. I have set virtual location to Finland (Espoo). It usually works fine.

 

But on Saturday I turned Freedome on again and it shows me that procetion is on and location is set to Finland. But then when I was loggin in to my e-mail account, site warned me that I'm trying to connect from unusual location. I checked my Freedome dashboard and it was still showing that my protection was on and my location is set to Finland.

 

But when I checked my current IP-address, this was actually from Sweden! So Freedome still tells me that my location is set to Finland, but my current IP-address was in Sweden. (I wrote down this IP-address and my physical location is not Sweden)

 

How this is possible? Some bug in Freedome software or... ?

 

Then I turned off Freedome and tried to connect again. So I checked again my IP-address and now it was in Finland as it should be also in first place.

 

Thanks for support!

    Hi Karhu,

     

    May be this article could explain in detail about why the IP address is seen to be in a different country than expected.
