What Does a VPN Actually Do?

A VPN routes your internet traffic through a server in another location, changing your IP address. That's useful for streaming, but your IP is only one of many location signals.

Why a VPN Fails to Hide Your Real Location

Even with a VPN active, your real location can be exposed through WebRTC leaks, Wi-Fi triangulation, the Browser Geolocation API, and your system timezone.

What Does a GPS Spoofer Do Differently?

LocChanger operates at the system level, changing the GPS coordinates your OS reports to every app — maps, dating apps, games, geolocation APIs.
