How to change location on Onlyfans

Onlyfans is a platform where creators of all kinds can share their content in exchange for a subscription. However, due to the platform’s location requirement, that’s not the only thing users share whether they want to or not.

Showing your location can be a great way for others to find you on the platform, but it also opens the door to quite a few awkward and sometimes scary scenarios.

If you need to change your Onlyfans location, you have come to the right place. Continue reading to learn more about how to keep your location private on the platform.

Change location on Onlyfans using phone

You can change app permissions on your iOS and Android devices, but it won’t mean much unless you’re a creator. Onlyfans can still track your location, even if you turn off location sharing in Settings. They can access your device’s GPS and IP address based on the agreement everyone “signs” when starting an account. However, you can still try the steps below and see if they give you the measure of privacy you need.

Onlyfans Location Settings on Android

For this one, you don’t go directly to the Onlyfans app. It must be done in your phone’s Settings. Here is what you need to do:

1. Find “Settings” on your phone’s home screen
   
2. Scroll down to “Applications”
   
3. Find Onlyfans in your app list
   
4. Select it and tap “Permissions.”
   
5. Tap “Location” and choose one of the options offered: “Allow only while using the app,” “Always ask,” or “Do not allow.”
   

Onlyfans Location Settings on iPhone

Not much different than the instructions for an Android. However, these two operating systems work differently, so there has to be at least one small step different. Here it is:

1. Start with the home screen
2. Find “Privacy & Security” under “Settings”
3. Go to “Location Services”
4. Find Onlyfans in the list of apps below
5. Tap it and choose the option: “Never”, “Ask next time or when sharing”, “While using the app” or “Always”.

How to change location on Onlyfans using VPN

Virtual private networks or VPNs can encrypt your real IP address and replace it with one from your chosen country. It’s a great solution for Onlyfans users for a couple of reasons. First, users can hide their location from others. Although it may make it a little more difficult to find you on the platform, there are still other avenues users can take that don’t jeopardize your safety.

The second reason is online security. Onlyfans has a history of leaking user information, so you’ll want to take the extra step to keep your personal information away from prying eyes, and VPNs can help. If you are interested in using VPN, here is what you should do:

1. Install the VPN app that works best for you.
   
2. Open the app.
3. Search for the country/location you want and connect.
   
4. Open Onlyfans and log in.

Your Onlyfans location will align with the one you chose in the VPN app.

How to check if your VPN is working

Not all VPN apps work with the same success. To check if you have hidden your IP address, visit a site like IPlocation.net or similar. It will show your visible IP address. If you check your current IP address and it shows the real one, try these steps:

• Reconnect to the VPN app.
• Clear cache to remove saved location information from other sites and apps
• Disable any app that tracks your geolocation

If none of these steps give you results, then it’s time to change the VPN app.

Which VPN is best for Onlyfans?

Keep in mind that paid VPNs are a smart investment. Although there are free apps that work, paid ones offer more options and a better overall customer experience. Monthly subscriptions are not too expensive, so there is no need to risk your security with unverified apps. Here is a list of the best suggested VPN apps for Onlyfans:

• NordVPN – You can choose from a huge collection of 5,000 servers around the world.
  
• Surfshark – They offer a decent amount of options and very fast servers for your connections. It’s a great option if you’re on a budget.
  
• IPVanish – has been in business for 10 years and has numerous satisfied customers.
  
• ExpressVPN – They have high-quality servers in 94 countries and offer excellent built-in security tools. The app is easy to use which makes the experience even better.
  
• CyberGhost: You can protect up to seven devices at the same time with their subscription plan. If privacy is your main concern, they have over 9,000 servers in 91 countries.
  

Block countries, areas and IP addresses on Onlyfans

Instead of hiding your location, you may want to direct people away from it. Geo Blocking is an Onlyfans option that blocks certain locations and areas from viewing your content. This is how you do it:

1. Open “Settings” on your Onlyfans account.
2. Look for “Privacy and security.”
3. Scroll down to find “Block by country”.
4. Select the country you want to block.
5. In the submenu, choose the most specific location (optional).

You can add an IP address that you want to block in the same section.

Difference between blocking and restricting on Onlyfans

If you’re a new Onlyfans user, you may want to have better control over your account, but it’s easy to confuse the two terms.

Blocking of people, areas and countries

If you block an account, that means the person behind that account cannot see your profile. They cannot message you or subscribe to you or interact with you in any way. The same goes for blocked countries and areas: people there will not be able to see your profile.

Restrict an account

If you restrict someone, they can still subscribe, purchase your content, and access your page. However, they will not be able to send you messages or interact with you.

These two options can be advantageous. People who don’t feel comfortable showing their family and close friends what they are doing on Onlyfans can easily block or restrict them.
