Geolocation through a personal OpenVPN

-1

I set up a VPN using OpenVPN on my private server based in a datacenter in France (Gravelines). Everything works fine, my client IP is modified and appear to be in France :

Informations provided by IP finding services

But when i try to access to my intranet website (which need a french IP address to login) it display me a message that i'm in a wrong location.

In try to do a traceroute from my client to the intranet here is the result:

Traceroute result

At steps 1 and 2 i can see that the packet is routed by VPN and my private server gateway. I can't understand how and why the website can locate me at this point. I can provide you any configuration of my OpenVPN server if needed.

1Known datacenter IPs are easily excluded from geolocation databases. Why not get official VPN access to your company? If you need it, you’ll get it. – Daniel B – 2017-08-10T18:48:14.350

That's probably the reason. I will upvote your comment. I can't pretend to have one because i'm only travelling for one week... But it was only for fun and trying to do it by myself. – Guillaume – 2017-08-10T18:50:42.037

Try in incognito mode. It could be using other features for geolocation, such as cookies.
