   That's a perfect example for the problem I'm trying to find a solution.   
      
   Using that example, let's say you had one shot to find a suitable place in   
   the world where it was over fifty degrees with winds coming out of the   
   north and if you lost that shot, you could no longer use the company   
   service.   
      
   If that were the case, you can't use your own location because you already   
   know that it's raining outside at your location - so you need to spoof it.   
      
   But what spoof do you use?   
      
   If you didn't think about the problem ahead of time, you'd just spoof ANY   
   location on earth, say Paris, and cross your fingers that it would work.   
      
   Picking an arbitrary company, let's say this is ESPN (but the company does   
   NOT matter because the question related to ALL companies that geolocate).   
      
   It could be craiglist posting (if that still exists), or a login to a   
   specific small town local site, or even to a local community web server.   
      
   What matters is where that company thinks your IP address is located.   
      
   To be absolutely clear about what matters, it doesn't matter where you are   
   (unless your weather is the weather the web site is expecting it to be).   
      
   And, to be more clear, it doesn't even matter where the ip address is   
   physically located (the weather report for Paris could be off by a lot).   
      
   What matters is only what any given company THINKS the weather is at   
   whatever IP address your current vpn service is telling that company.   
      
   And you only get one shot.   
   It has to be right.   
      
   The weather in Paris doesn't matter.   
   What matters is what the company THINKS the weather is in paris.   
      
   The safest and best way to find a place where the weather is over fifty   
   degrees with winds coming out of the north is to run a geosearch.   
      
   You search first and FIND a place where the weather is what the company you   
   want to log into expects that weather to be.   
      
   Say you find out that in London right now, the weather is perfect for what   
   the company expects it to be (based on your gelocationweather command).   
      
   By running that search, you didn't need to log into the company site   
   which means you didn't ruin your chances of logging in successfully.   
      
   Here's the result of the efficient process   
   You run the command line tool to find a place reporting the right weather   
   You set your vpn to be from that place with the right weather   
   THEN you log into the company web site   
      
   The company does the same geolookup that you did   
   So the company gets the same weather that you did   
      
   Perfect.   
   Now you can log into the company web site   
   Because its lookup came out to be the same as your lookup did   
      
   That's all I'm seeking here which is a batch command that can find a   
   location with the weather that I want and then I set my vpn to that place.   
      
   Obviously substitute location for weather in the example above   
   and that explains what I want to do which is commonly needed.
