We have observed that some IP ranges may be incorrectly geolocated to China by Google due to improper usage by certain customers. This is caused by Google’s internal algorithm and only affects Google-related services such as Gemini. Mainstream AI, e-commerce, and social media platforms such as Claude, ChatGPT, TikTok, and others are not affected.

How to resolve this?

  1. Install WARP split routing by using the one-click script:

bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vps8899/warp-google-unlock/main/warp-google.sh)

  1. Submit a support ticket, and we can help you install WARP split routing.
  2. The more users submit correction requests, the faster the result may improve. You can follow this tutorial and submit a geolocation correction request together. Google usually reassigns the location back to Los Angeles within about one month, and the service will be automatically unlocked at that time:

We are already running automated scripts to correct Google’s geolocation, and we expect the IP range to be moved back to Los Angeles in around one week. Based on our experience, when a newly sold IP range is affected for the first time, Google may incorrectly geolocate the entire range to China. This is a common situation and can have a larger impact. After the location is corrected this time, even if some customers use the service improperly in the future, it is very unlikely that the entire IP range will be affected again. In most cases, only the individual customer with improper usage will be affected.

Why do proxy subscription services not usually have this issue?

  1. Most proxy subscription services use DNS-based unlocking. This means they hijack or redirect DNS so that all users access specific services through the same unlocked IP. If that IP gets blocked, they simply replace it with another one. The cost is low, but the drawbacks are also obvious, which is why they usually do not face the same type of issue.
  2. We provide VPS services. By default, our DNS uses safe public DNS resolvers. We only configure WARP split routing for Google services when customers specifically request it. This ensures normal usage and provides a result similar to DNS-based unlocking used by proxy subscription services, but it is more reliable, backed by Cloudflare, and does not affect account security.
