I was thinking more along the lines of either obscuring system clock or changing it entirely as far as the apps or web browser can see. Say, making it so that it matches the time zone of your VPN.
I'm not sure there's a way other than manually, maybe you could set multiple timezones in the clock app and check the one you're in
