I have a reliable residential proxy based in Indonesia, I am trying to log into my Indonesian account, I keep getting hit with location mismatch errors.

All browser leak tests show that I am in the USA (which my VPN is set to) but at the same time showing me the IP of the indonesian proxy.

I have tried gologin, adspower and they both recognize the indonesian IP, but once I do a browser test, the VPN IP is picked up.

Google and websites can see the Indonesian IP, but also they can see the USA IP.

Does this mean I need to use a VPN in indonesia? Or do I need to setup a router with the Indonesian IP to route all system traffic through the IP....anyways this leak is bothering me.
Thanks for the help! - From an IP noob.

Quite a lot of factors could be at play there.
That's less bad proxy and more like split routing. From what I gather, your system is basically sending differnet traffic through different pipes. Your browser profile is using ID proxy but your OS-level traffic with it's DNS, WebRTC, probs some background requests, CDN pings, and etc. still go through your USA VPN. That's one thing going on, so sites are seeing two wildly different geolocations at once which raises quite a bit of flags.
Stacking VPN with a proxy isn't something I see typically done, let alone if they're in different countries. Makes the connection even more dubious, if all else.
Just stick to one country, one route. However way you go about it, that should prevent your setup from mixing geos.
Network pathing like that would cause some problems.
 
Yeah, that isn’t the proxy leaking - it’s your browser giving you away. Stuff like WebRTC, DNS and the fingerprint still scream USA, even though the proxy shows Indonesia.

Spin up a clean profile in AdsPower or Dolphin and try again. Once the fingerprint matches the proxy, those mismatch errors usually disappear.
 
You can turn off the VPN completely and use the Indonesian residential proxy only.
 
That’s a classic split-tunnel issue. Your browser is using the residential proxy but system-level traffic (DNS/WebRTC) is still going through the VPN. You’ll need one clean route not both mixed.
 
Yeah what happens if you turn the VPN off?
 
Try using only the Indonesian proxy and ensure all browser traffic, including WebRTC and DNS, is fully routed through it to avoid location mismatches.
 
Your split-tunneling setup is broadcasting both IPs because WebRTC and certain browser fingerprinting vectors are exposing your VPN endpoint even when the proxy handles HTTP traffic - you either need to disable WebRTC/leak protection in the antidetect browser or route everything through a single Indonesian exit. Chain them properly by setting your VPN to Indonesia as the primary gateway, then pass that through your residential proxy, or just use the proxy alone with proper leak protection configured.
 
If your VPN is US and your proxy is Indonesian, sites will still see a mismatch.
Use antidetect to match timezone, language, and block WebRTC, but you still need one clean setup: either no VPN with the Indonesian proxy, or an Indonesian VPN so everything matches.
 
I mean it could be a number of factors, usually DNS leak or Fingerprint issue though
 
Thank you for all of the replies. The setup is confusing yes.

I basically have multiple VMs running multiple different proxies, the main network layer outside of the VM's is whonix gateway (TOR). So even if I turn off the VPN the sites detect wherever the TOR exit node is (Germany for example).

I am bleeding to death lol.

I figured it out though and got the account to work magically in the end of it all. My account moved from Indonesia to USA. Easier.

Remote troubleshooting for this kinda stuff is naive, I am specialized in making setups bulletproof, you might be leaking stuff in many other ways, start a haf or wtb and let me know if you like, I'll take care of it after 20 or so bot replies there.
