1418915 2016-04-11 02:44:00 Hi guys.
I have a desktop and a lappy and was checking my security settings, on Google and it brings up location.
It says I'm in Rotorua.
I not been to Rotorua for about 7 1/2 years ago.
We live in Tauranga.
This is on me lappy, not check desktop as wife on it.
We both have Windows 10 Pro.
Can I ask, please, how does one change this?
I still don't know my way around Windows 10, been an XP boy since it first come out. :nerd:
:thanks
Ian

Speedtest.net and whois says my Orcon IP locates me in Auckland ,whereas this vpn site says I'm in the Marlboro' sounds https://www.vpnme.me/

Speedtest says I'm in Tauranga, but you load that under it's settings I don't know what VPN is.
I did a Google says a VPN is a virtual private network.
My phone says something about that????

Ian

send Bill gates a xmas card , with your current address on the back, written in crayon (or blood, if you are a linux user)
Ask him to pass it on to Mr Google.

Have a look outside , there will be Win10 out there, lurking in the bushes, spying on your every move. Ask them to update the details .
:punk

There is a setting in win10, that turns off passing on location details to whoever. Set it to on, if you dare :)
