use the tunnel located in your country?
If your country gets warrant happy, wouldn't having a VPN in a more privacy friendly or non-five-eyes country be better? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes
Can't have it both ways. Either you use your own country and then (if geoip works) it also thinks that you are there or use another and then it will think you are there.
If you're worried about your government, then you shouldn't be using a VPN, you should be using Tor Browser to stay anonymous.
