This is called GEO IP Location and is controlled by your ISP. They would have to update the global records for the whole subnet you're getting your IP from which may be divided up between multiple cities. 

So it's an isp problem and i can't do anything about it, not even VPN as any and all good VPN's like Surfshark which i have a subscription to pulled out of India due to data logging legislation? Is there a proxy or some other solution that I can use? I have another ISP which does not have this issue, can I set up the proxy on that smh? Pls help

I am using no VPN( i am sure about it)

I am connected through my isp using google dns which i am sure has a server in my city

When i look up my IP address, it shows me in a different city in my state instead of my actual city

Nasik instead of Navi Mumbai

any ideas on how to fix this?

Imagine everything i have written in a Linus Voice/ linus tone (Spock live long and prosper gif here ,idk why tho, i guess i just want to say that i like star trek and am waiting for new seasons of the ongoing shows), But seriously, a lot of what i type only makes sense when said in a Linus tone from an older ltt video (circa 2017-2019 & now 2024-onwards) basically before he got a beard and a lot of it should make sense even in a Linus with a beard face.

also note as per the latest typing test on my laptop, my accuracy is 69%

 

I'm not weird/creepy, I'm just observant I have ADHD and am not on any meds for it because I don't want to and don't need to be on meds. i also may just be depressed. If you find other things around you depressing, are you depressed or are you surrounded by depressing things?
