Not UK based

A few applications on my mobile devices think they are outside the UK when using WiFi. I don't have any VPN spftware configured on the devices so I' guessing it's the router that thinks it's not in the UK. Is anybody else having this problem?

@Nicjohn14 different sites use different methods for determining location but modt use yhe location recorded for an IP address. While it is possible that the IP address Sky has currently assigned to your connection is still registered to a diffent country it is pretty unusual you can check by going to https://whatismyipaddress.com

 

Assuming thst is mapped to the Uk  check if your device is using something like iCloud Private Relay which confuses the llottery site and a few others as while not being a true VPN
