The DNS resolving google.com guesses your gegraphical location, and
gives you an answer that is nearest where you are. If you use another
DNS to query the domain, you will get a different IP:


216.58.218.196 from
http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=a%3awww.google.com&run=toolpage
74.125.22.103 from https://www.ultratools.com/tools/dnsLookupResult
216.58.209.68 from http://ping.eu/nslookup/

If you are dead set on using a different IP than your local one, you can
use this trick to do this.
