Why do online stores display prices in a different currency after turning on a VPN?

WEBSITES DETERMINE YOUR LOCATION BASED ON THE EXIT SERVER AND CHANGE REGIONAL SETTINGS.
Major marketplaces and online stores automatically adapt their storefronts to the country from which the network request originates. If the tunnel is routed through a European node, prices are recalculated in euros or local currency.

Automatic Regional Localization

Web pages read the public IP address of the incoming connection to determine the buyer's country and city. Upon detecting a foreign address, the service loads the local product catalog, changes the currency, updates delivery terms, and frequently disables familiar regional payment methods.
