What's going on


 

On my Macintosh I created a second user to be able to test stuff.

PIA is enabled but it says it is connecting through Indianapolis

Yet when I open a browser window I get a message in Romanian. When I log on to google it thinks I am in Romania and wants to know if that’s okay.

In my primary user account this doesn’t happen?


Should I delete this second user?

Is there some reason you can’t change the POP from Romania to something else via the PIA thingie in the menu bar? My experience is it remembers the previous selection next time it’s run. I use Montreal as my POP much of the time during the summer because that fools MLB into letting me watch Reds games, and I choose something like Chicago otherwise so Amazon doesn’t give me Canadian prices.

Lee thanks,

I don’t think I have ever told PIA that I am in Romania.

Also, by change the POP Setting do you mean the location? As I said the location is set for Indianapolis and I don’t know why it thinks I am in Romania.

I didn’t read your original message carefully enough to let Indianapolis sink in. I’d try three things to start with:

(1) While logged into the new user’s account, check System Settings…>General>Language & Region.

(2) Try changing the city in PIA to something else, just to see if its default is messed up. By the way, to my surprise, PIA does have a Romanian POP.

(3) Peek at your PIA settings via the ? popup in the upper right-hand corner. There are choices for language and multi hop buried in there.

Also, by change the POP Setting do you mean the location? As I said the location is set for Indianapolis and I don’t know why it thinks I am in Romania.

It’s the location from which you emerge into the wide cruel world. POP=Point of Presence
