Used a VPN to my home while in Mexico. Returned a week ago and all my devices (including those that have never been in Mexico) now show they’re in Mexico. Google’s IP correction form says it can take a month to fix.

    I don’t sign in unless there’s some reason to. In this case Google is using cell towers to determine my phone’s location while in Mexico (and on my VPN) and then applying that location to everything on my Spectrum IP.

    Interestingly Google has never done this when I’m using a VPN on a cloud server instead of my home server.
