My brother is connecting from China, google shows everything in Chinese for me

[ebmar87]

I'm living in Norway, and my brother needs a VPN (because of the great firewall of China). I installed Wireguard as the vpn service.

I'm being redirecting to google.com.hk even though it should be google.no

For dns I use 9.9.9.9 and 1.1.1.1 in my router

I used the wireguard install guide from pimylifeup.com

 

Any possible fix for this?

There must be some configuration error here that is causing you to route via him rather than him route via you.

Do you know where I can look for it? It's the default conf. 

Everyone in the household is being redirected to google.com.hk even though we live in Norway.

I can't really get my head around how this happened, given there should be only your brother connected to the VPN.

Does this happen when they are NOT connected?  What happens when the machine running the Wireguard server is turned off entirely?

I've got a new ip, so no one is connected, and I don't have Chinese google anymore. So, it has to be the wireguard connection
