Google bad, FineVPN good
I bought an "All-time premium" subscription. Testing the servers revealed that services like Google, Cloudflare, and GOG easily detect that the locations don't match what FineVPN advertises. For instance, the China server showed up as being in Helsinki, Finland. Support blamed all the external services, claiming they don't pay Ripe to update their geolocation databases that Ripe announces. Two stars rating: one for support responding, and one because my location WAS masked, just not with the country I selected.

Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback — we truly appreciate it. 🙏 We’re sorry to hear that the geolocation of some of the VPN servers did not match your expectations. While your real IP address *was* successfully masked, we understand that accurate server location is important, especially for services that rely on regional content access or IP-based restrictions. You’re right that some third-party services (like Google, Cloudflare, and others) use outdated or proprietary IP databases that may not reflect the announced or intended location, and unfortunately, we have limited control over how these external services interpret IP geolocation. That said, we recognize this can be frustrating, especially with premium expectations. Your feedback has been noted, and we’re continuously working on improving our infrastructure and accuracy. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience — and for acknowledging both the support response and masking functionality. If you decide to give FineVPN another shot, our team is always here to help you find the best possible server for your needs. 🙌🔧
