    Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's right!

    That's where your VPN is coming out when I check the content in your post.

    It's on the same class C subnet as the address you posted.

    And the 77.111.247.49 address now shows as Meidling in Austria.

    Good VPN!

    Sweden, Austria or Tunisia, it keeps moving. :like:

    Actually when the address keeps moving it indicates quite clearly to applications that are tracking ip addresses that the use user is either on TOR or clearly using a VPN, for me the ideal VPN is one that looks like an innocuous domestic address on a normal mass market ISP and that stays pretty much static for long periods of time.

    That's if you want to use a VPN for getting access to services that are withheld when you are not in your home country.

    In fact I've enabled the VPN that's part of the latest release of Opera browser. Unfortunately it only allows for a generalised 'end point' - Europe, Asia or America and, according to WhoIs, all the IP Addresses are registered to a Swedish company: Hern Labs in the city of Innerstaden, Östergötland (HERN Labs is owned by Opera Software). I do have a better VPN whose IP Address doesn't change and which shows me as being in Hull; it is this one that I use to access geo-restricted sites.

    Yes it comes up as Opera Mini Proxy, it's not keeping you in Europe unless it thinks Morocco is part of Europe, it is intriguing that it keeps you in the same class C subnet 1 of 254 addresses in that subnet.

    Ah, maybe that's because I've set it for "Optimal Location" which, I guess, allows it to set the PC's perceived location to anywhere that is tolerably close and has capacity. But I read (in TechRadar) that Opera's Proxy service is being discontinued and will be replaced by SurfEasy VPN which costs about €6 a month if you want to consume more that 500 MB a month - that's less than a 30 minute HD programme on iPlayer :(.

    I watch the very little new BBC stuff I want to watch on you tube..
    All the old and good stuff is available for free anyway..
    Anyone paying the licence fee these days with it`s new B.S/fake content is a mug IMO.
