[AccessD] VPN

[James Button]

The VPN can indicate to the accessed site that your ISP (and you) are in a
particular country, 
as in you may be in Russia, but you can access banking sites in the USA  as if
you were in the USA and with appropriate id codes - a USA citizen.
So - you keep a particular system id for access to the banking facility - as in
not using a public device, but the one it has noted in it's security data on
you.

It would seem that a changing IP address would give you better security if
you were trying to hide something.  What's the advantage of dedicated IP?

And, of course, you have to trust the provider as they presumably know the
link between your IP and the one they give you, yes?
