        Not for me it doesn’t. I don’t believe it can detect you’re using a VPN, I just think it’s blocked all the IP addresses used by my provider

          Ah, that’s also possible. Have you considered switching your VPN server to a more local one? And yes, location spoofers do exist; they’re widely, if coyly, used in some communities for Niantic games (Pokemon Go, etc).

            Like I said… even with my home country selected, there’s a couple of sites I can’t access
