    Probably yes, VPN is used, among others, to simulate the IP location.

    What is the VPN service provider? It is possible he has a server in London and you have been connected through it.

    Another thing is that Facebook statistics do not have to be accurate and reliable in this matter. Change your password for peace of mind. But if you still have access to your account and you don't see any unwanted activity, you have nothing to worry about.

    This provider has a server in London. You probably logged in to your account yourself being connected through this server.

    Yes, but vpn was connected to Poland, so it is possible that this Polish vpn had a server in London?

    Rather not if the redirection to Poland is configured permanently.

    In this case, however, it is more important that the login locations on Facebook do not have to be minimal. What is there even information about there.

    It is possible that when connecting to Poland there was a redirection to the address that Facebook interpreted as London.

    Assuming that you are constantly connecting via VPN, to analyze the case you would need logs that the VPN provider does not store, or at least declares.

    You can check one thing, on Facebook on the list with login locations, after hovering over the position, the IP address from which the theory was logged in appears. Out of curiosity you can check this address in some IP lookup service.

    But as I wrote, Facebook is not credible when it comes to these locations so as to worry about it.

    Just yesterday I used vpn for the first time because I watched a movie on netflix, just in the morning when I looked at Facebook I noticed this location and the IP also just refreshed and it disappeared and that was the active session, there was no other login, these were my two sessions one on Messenger the second on facebook and it is on facebook that has become so are the chances that I break it?

    Someone gave a VPN and still a fixed IP for a gull for testing, since in the normal offer it requires a payment from virtually all providers of this service?

    In addition, having dynamic IP variables you can have the same and 2 years - it depends only on the operator how often the change of this IP will be made.

    Please provide specific and comprehensive information about the service (without login details and password) and maybe something more can be said.
    Otherwise it's just our guesses.

    My error is dynamic but can that be the reason for this location on fb? What other information does Man provide?
