I have a secondary user profile in #Graphene running Google Play Services.

It has an always-on VPN.

When I went to check my logged in devices in that Google account, it shows the location as my real location - which never was the VPN server I connected to. The clock is not even set to this city.

Why is this information leaking?

Seems like a pretty nasty bug.

Do you use Chrome? I'm not sure if `gethostbyname()` (I think) Android bug that bypasses the VPN's configured DNS server still exists and whether that is to blame, or whether that is at least fixed in nostr:nprofile1qqs9g69ua6m5ec6ukstnmnyewj7a4j0gjjn5hu75f7w23d64gczunmgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qz9thwden5te0v35hgar09ec82c30wfjkcctexf34p3

I use Vanadium but I think I signed in thru Google Maps anyway. It does not have the location permission
