Whenever I access a website, it locates me in Canada. This has been going on for a few months. I've tried to fix it - have browsed and googled to no avail. Even Firefox thinks I am in Canada. How did this happen? How can I fix it?

Are you possibly using a VPN or proxy to connect to internet that locates you in Canada ?

You can check the connection settings.

  • Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings

If you do not need to use proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
