I'm in Colorado, slap bang in the middle of the USA, connecting via AT&T, not running a VPN. Are you using Fastly for geolocation? If so, that's... bad...

Hmm. Yes, using Fastly for that. Can you go to https://ileantoward.com/geotest and see if anything looks fishy? Notably country_code and region (region should have a state code if country is "US").

Says I'm in El Salvador (Country Code: SV)

I don't have much confidence in Fastly's WAF if it can't do basic geolocation in 2024
