Are Azure VMs different to a VPN? Sorry I'm not the most technical.

Reason I ask is because there are few people I follow that use VPNs but their location is accurate on X.

Also, X also shows where you downloaded the app from, e.g. [Country] App Store, so that one might be a bit more difficult to get around.

A VPN is just a tunnel to a server somewhere (in this case, an Azure VM) so anywhere you can rent/run a server is a place that you can setup a VPN and pass all your traffic through.

You can use X through your web browser, avoiding the app store.

You can but a lot of people use their phone and the official apps. It also shows if you primarily use a browser. :)
