I've turned off all the permissions for my podcast app and I'm using a VPN to block trackers, yet the app continues to serve me location-specific ads. How is this possible?

It’s likely using your IP address. Even with a VPN, your connection could still be traced back to your local area, especially since the service needs to connect to nearby data centers to work effectively.
But doesn’t a VPN mask your IP address completely?
