How does Pixelscan know my location when using a mobile proxy in another country?

Pixel Scan is easy to cheat
In your case can be:
1. DNS leak - check here https://ipleak.net/
2. Browser and system langunage
3. Cookies
i tried with puppeteer too, so the cookies should be cleared
Use webrtc blocker plugin and make sure that DNS queries goes through the Proxy.
visit https://whoer.net/ and paste the result I should be able to help you figure it out.

yes, using https://whoer.net or other leak to test
Dns is weird but should be going though the proxy.
Besides that, why does it say "Scaleway" under the IP? Shouldnt there be the name of the 4g provider like vodafone and not an hoster?

Pixelscan isn’t just checking your IP ,it’s comparing your full browser fingerprint (OS, time zone, language, WebGL, fonts, etc.) against the IP location. If you’re using a mobile proxy but your environment doesn’t match (e.g. Mac OS with German IP but US time zone and English keyboard), you’ll get flagged as inconsistent. To fix this, use a proper fingerprint browser or VM setup that lets you fully spoof your environment in sync with your IP.

The problem is that your proxy is not of good quality. These sites all have a mechanism to detect location. If your proxy is not of good quality, it will be detected. Try testing another proxy.

first, i think it’s mainly because of your proxy. even if it’s a mobile proxy, if the provider reuses ip ranges too often or the ip has a bad history, tools like pixelscan can still pick up on that and flag it.
second, even though the fingerprint section says it looks fine, it doesn’t mean everything is actually matching. small things like timezone, webrtc, geolocation settings, or system fonts can still create inconsistencies.
to fix it, i’d suggest trying a higher quality mobile or residential proxy. if you’re already using an antidetect browser, double-check your fingerprint settings. or try switching to others like gologin, hidemyacc, etc. sometimes a different antidetect handles fingerprinting more accurately depending on your system.

Your device might be leaking location data through a connected Wi-Fi network, mismatch between your proxy location and your device's time zone or language settings or your proxy is not strong enough.

Something seems odd about the proxy. I would test anither anti detect browser, if you still have the issue then it must be the proxy
