If you're using a VPS as a VPN server, Google search may default to another region or language based on past usage of the IP. To fix this you can do the following.
1. Force Google to stay on .com
Go to this URL once in your web browser:
https://www.google.com/ncr
“NCR” = No Country Redirect.
It sets a cookie that tells Google to always keep you on the global (U.S.) site.
If you’re scripting or using a CLI browser, you can append ?ncr=1 to the search URL.
2. Manually set language & region
After visiting google.com/ncr:
Go to Settings › Search Settings
(bottom-right corner on the Google homepage).
Under Region Settings, choose United States.
Under Languages, choose English.
