All right Tin Can, I was advised at today's online seminar to contact the community about the following scenario:

I am located in Edmotnon Alberta Canada yet my client browsers are picking up sites like Toronto's kijiji.ca instead of Edmonton's by default. When I turn off th VPN client, I pick up the local area correctly. Where do we start debugging?

Already did as the server is located there. Still does not answer how or why to detect the geoanolomy

I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.

They also discussed Community version but yeah, on second thought Alberta, Toronto, etc. sounds like AS.

Moved.

AS stands for Acces Server, OpenVPN Access Server to be precise.
It is the commercial version.

The other is the OpenVPN Community Version.
It is the open source version.
