Google always knows my location, no matter what.

I have been having this problem with Google, It ALWAYS knows my location. Even under the most strict conditions I cannot seem to hide from them. Here are my current settings:

VPN enabled - AirVpn Amsterdam
OpenDNS configured
Cookies and cache cleared
Location awareness disabled in Firefox and OSX*
Wired ethernet connection, wifi disabled
Flash disabled
Javascript disabled
Cookies disabled
Java Disabled

Furthermore, if I use Tor Browser but disable Tor using Torbutton Google knows my location. Only Tor has the ability to block them it seems. I have tested for DNS leaks and find none. I find this incredibly invasive and want to block them but cannot seem to find a way. Does anyone have any suggestions

*I know, I know, but I need it for work.

You use anything with IPv6? By the way, Google can do GeoIP lookups. If you are using a VPN service, they should see your IP location from the VPN's location.

I thought IPv6 was disabled and discovered that somehow it got turned back on. I changed it to link-local only and it seems to have fixed the problem. I have now started doing more reaserch on IPv6 is there some kind of security bug (a.k.a. feature) that gives up my location?

It could be that your ipv6 is being converted back to ipv4 at some point close to you which would enable standard IP based geolocation to be performed.

Depends on the OS, but I have IPv6 disabled in my OS.
