IP Location incorrectly Detected/Wrong DNS Location

I'm hoping someone can help me please.

I am sat behind a VPN (CyberGhost) that is set to a UK location (my location). When using tools such as IP Address Lookup - Check Location of Your Public IP (iplocation.io) it shows the location as UK (Correctly), but to a Rumanian ISP.  

The problem is that  NextDNS is detecting it as a Romanian IP address and routing all traffic to their Romanian server, but when using 1.1.1.1 for example it correctly detects it as being in the UK and routes via their UK DNS.

Is there any way to rectify this or for NextDNS to do use a better method/database?

NextDNS Network Diagnostic

Thanks

    Unfortunately this hasn't gained any traction or had a response from the developers. I have tested 2 competitor products and they both work correctly. Not that I wanted to, as I was happy with NextDNS but ill be jumping ship.

    Others are having the same issue even without VPN

    NextDNS is causing websites to identify me in a different location : r/nextdns (reddit.com)
