[Help] Slicethepie found my real location despite all efforts to hide it !

It can be any number of things, so I'm going to ask you a couple of questions so we can narrow it down. First off, did you run OpenVPN with admin privileges? If you dont, OpenVPN will connect and act as if it's working perfectly, however you won't be masking your IP at all and a simple trip to whatismyip.com or something of the like will show you that. Assuming you are, then I have some other questions, who's IP is that listed there that Google is blocking, your own, or the VPN IP? Also do you have WebRTC disabled in Firefox? If you don't then its easily possible to get your actual IP behind the VPN with no problem. If you can advise back on some of those it might be a little easier to pinpoint what happened. Also, does CCleaner clear flash cookies? If not, that's another possibility for tracking you. I'm leaning towards you didn't run OpenVPN with admin privileges, or WebRTC is giving you away, but I'll be happy to try and help if I can.

Thanks a lot man, you're completely right, because I discovered the problem, the site used Javascript to get my real Ip then sent it to google for finding my location and blocking the unwanted countries... I solved the problem by spoofing my mac address so it couldn't be used to reveal my real location.

So I was able to register at slicethepie but when I started to listen to songs and earn some money I encountered another problem, the site won't let me work because of too slow internet, it says I have low bandwidth and should try again later and that is true I have a 5.41 Mbps connection which gets even slower when I use vpn... not sure how to solve that, over here we can't have fast internet
