FreeBuff detects my location as outside the EU, giving me limited mode (6 one-hour sessions) even though I'm physically in Sweden.
To Reproduce
Run freebuff from terminal on a Chromebook Linux container
Region detection assigns limited mode
Premium models show "0 of 6 used" instead of unlimited
Expected behavior
Full mode with unlimited access to DeepSeek V4 Pro, MiMo 2.5 Pro, etc., since Sweden is in the EU and listed as a full-access region.

Environment:
Device: Chromebook (HP)
OS: Chrome OS with Linux container ("penguin")
FreeBuff version: latest (installed via npm)
Physical location: Sweden
Additional context
The Linux container on Chrome OS uses a virtualized network stack that may route traffic through Google's infrastructure, potentially causing IP geolocation to misread my region. I'm not using a VPN or proxy.
This is preventing me from using full mode features during development. I've also sent this via /feedback.
