Hi,

My squid proxy (location A) and http client (location B) are running
in different geographical location.
Whenever i make a request to google<dot> it is showing me google page
for location A (location at which proxy is present).
Is there some way to change this so that i get the google page for
location B (http client) instead of location A.
I have searched on net and found out using tproxy is one of the way.
Is there any other way (perhaps by changing its config) ?

This is how Google operates.

TPROXY will not help unless the proxy and the clients are within the same network path. It is designed to be used on Gateway proxies in ISP situations. With separate locations you will have triangular routing problems as the packets from Google go straight back to the client instead of the proxy. Using VPN or tunnel solutions to avoid that that will make the client get the location-B responses from Google anyway.

The best you can do is ensure forwarded_for and via features are both ON and hope that Google servers are paying attention to the clients location information they contain.
