I checked my proxy on both IPFighter and Whoer, and both show the correct location (US), same as the one I picked when buying the proxy.
But when I search on Google, the results are showing Arabic content instead. Not really sure why this happens, anyone knows?
 
google search results aren't purely based on your IP location. they also factor in browser language headers, the `Accept-Language` header, and any saved preferences tied to cookies or previous sessions.
 
perhaps ur browser is leaking
 
Yeah that’s pretty normal tbh. Even if your proxy shows a US IP, Google still looks at stuff like your language settings, cookies, or account, so it can keep serving Arabic results. Maybe try incognito or switch your Google region to US
 
I think Google results are influenced by more than just your proxy IP. It can also depend on your browser language, Google account settings, cookies, or even previous search activity. You might want to try clearing cookies, using an incognito window, or adjusting your Google region and language settings to US. That usually helps align the search results with the proxy location.
 
Most likely your browser language or Google account settings. Even with a US IP, Google will still push Arabic results if your language personalization are set that way. Check those first.
 
Clear sign your proxy and browser are leaking your OS or browser language
 
Geolocation tools only show the database location. Google also looks at traffic patterns and previous usage of the IP range. If that subnet historically generated Arabic searches, you may still see Arabic SERPs for a while. Usually disappears after some neutral browsing or using a fresh IP.
 
Google results aren’t based only on IP. They also use things like browser language, cookies, previous activity and even account settings. If your browser or Google account has Arabic language/region signals, it can override the proxy location. Try using a clean profile, check language/region settings in the browser and Google, or test in incognito with no account logged in.
 
Google can detect your browser's Cookies, User Agent, Language, and screen resolution, Clear Cache wont be enough.
 
Google doesn’t rely only on IP location. It also checks browser language, cookies, search history, and sometimes device fingerprint. If you previously used Arabic related sessions on that browser profile, Google may still personalize results that way.
 
the first thing to do is to use incognito mode and check if its still showing arabic?

Just Google trying to be helpful by guessing your language based on your browsing history or IP quirks, not a proxy fail. Check your Google Search Settings, manually set the region and language, or just clear your cookies. If you're ever unsure if your setup is clean, hit up Iphey to see what Google actually sees about you.
 
Your IP address might be in the US, but Google is still guessing your language based on your proxy history, DNS or browser traces. I've experienced this before, changing your DNS and using a new browser profile usually fixes the problem.
 
I use IPQualityscore integrated in Linken Sphere browser via API. But I wouldn't say that the metric shown in proxy checkers reflects the actual performance and quality of the proxy.
