I have a strange issue and i am not sure how to tackle it. I have a local operator's SIM card in my mobile phone and i have it tethered to my OpenWRT (via USB cable) to the router to provide me access to the Internet. Everything works fine, but in the google, youtube, showing the default country as different one rather than the one i am currently am.
i am in Greece and it shows ads and default language of Chrome to Romania.
If i do a speedtest via OOKLA, it shows the correct country.
by removing the OpenWRT router and sharing the internet access to my laptop all the aforementioned look fine and show the correct country and ads.
any ideas what is causing this issue and how to solve it, please?
