Google incorrectly determines the location?

Good afternoon!
Google is getting smart again and doing weird things. I have a modest VPS, which is located in America, the city of Kansas. Sometimes you need to get (download) a certain page, for example, the main "face" of Google. For this, a simple script was written. For some time everything worked correctly - Google gave the English-language page, because it knew that I was requesting it from Kansas, but the last few days Google has been doing strange things - upon request to google.com, it redirects to google.com.ar (Argentinean Google) and gives a page intended for Argentines, which does not suit me at all.
Kansas server IP (checked by huiz), as well as the company that issued it. Google, apparently, is so smart that it does not react to the sent “Accept-Language: en-us” header in any way.
Actually the question is: how to explain to Google that the request comes from America, not Argentina, given that we are talking about server applications and the option “Click first on the google for english link” does not roll :)
Thanks in advance for the answers.
UPD: Maybe you can send an IP to Google support and ask them to fix the bug, or at least find out if it's a bug at all? I just couldn't find where to post...
