Hi everyone, I’m wondering about something but not quite sure which forum section it belongs in, so I’m posting here, hope that’s okay.
I’m using a residential proxy based in the UK, but my device is physically in Southeast Asia. When I create a new browser profile, should I manually match the timezone to the proxy location?
Some tools offer auto-sync, others don’t, and I noticed that even when I sync timezone, some sites still detect weird inconsistencies in fingerprint (like system language or WebRTC).
Anyone know what matters more for trust: timezone, language, or device location? And what’s the best way to configure these when the proxy and real machine don’t match?
Any tips would be appreciated.

The best way is to manually set the time zone in each browser profile, based on the IP being used and this would avoid any inconsistencies.

since you're using a UK residential proxy, it’s best to manually set timezone, language, and system locale to match the UK as closely as possible. Sites often flag mismatches like UK IP with Southeast Asia time or device language. WebRTC should be disabled to avoid leaking your real IP.

Match your timezone, language, and WebRTC settings to the proxy. Most disable WebRTC but can
also be used as a metric as most regular users know nothing of this.
