## Google in your language

Google will try to detect your location and redirect you to a localized version of Google. For example, if you open **google.com** or **google.co.uk** in Thailand it will redirect you to **google.co.th**.

To stop this behavior, please visit <a href="http://google.com/ncr">google.com/ncr</a> in your browser. (Once in each browser if you have multiple browsers.) You can now go to the Google version you prefer without it redirecting to the local version.

## Work with Google

Google optimizes your experience by moving your Google data (e.g. your Gmail) to the nearest Google data-centre. 

If you change locations frequently - VPN or otherwise - Google may not be able to do this adequately and slow down as a result. If possible, try to consistently use the same VPN server or VPN servers in the same area.
