Connection location when using Automatic
This is a feature/enhancement request.
After the VPN connection is established using the Automatic option, please indicate to where BD VPN actually connected. This would be convenient and helpful to the user. Currently, when using Automatic the user has no idea to where they connected.

Hello @MSStateDawg,
The updated VPN UI also displays the location when connecting automatically.

No it doesn't. It only shows the country.

Yes, that's the point. Not all countries allow multiple cities. In some countries, there are also virtual locations and this means that servers are hosted in other parts and plug in IPs so that you can actually connect in those locations, but these are very few and designed only as a backup in some countries, depending on the available infrastructure. The location is chosen randomly, but also based on server load in your area or surrounding areas. If VPN servers are under heavy use in Canada, for example, the location will move further and further away until it finds a server that is less strained. This will help streamline the connections and will ensure proper network speeds are met.
