I live in the UK but, inexplicably, my devices often report me as being in The Netherlands!
No VPN used. The network is literally in the same county where I live, may be less than 15 miles away - one of the biggest internet provider, Xfinity.
His account sees the Opportunity Expired message on Sat, when I went to check his after my account suffered such. Then 2 days later both accounts worked - tried his first then after several surveys, tried mine - was able to finish 2 eligible ones and a few $0.25 - then encountered the Opportunity Expired message again. Tried later at night still the same even with incognito. I would let it rest for another day or two to try again.
Google seems the only site that constantly thinks I am in UK when I go to it. Nobody else does that, other than insists I am in Miami versus Ft. Lauderdale. The latter applies to a lot of national retailers websites, incl Walgreens and CVS, the most prominent drug stores (equal to UK's Boots). and the Home Depot, again the biggest home improvement chain in US. I have No Idea how that happens.
