Why does Pornhub incorrectly detect my location as Virginia?

Pornhub, like many websites, determines a user's location through their IP address. If it incorrectly detects a location as Virginia, it is likely because the IP address being used is registered to or routed through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) based in Virginia. This can occur for a variety of reasons: the use of VPNs or proxy servers that reroute the internet connection to different locations, the ISP assigning an IP batch to different regions without precise geographic accuracy, or inaccuracies in the databases that services like Pornhub use to map IP addresses to physical locations. Any of these factors could potentially result in the false identification of Virginia as the user's location.
