[AccessD] VPN

[Rocky Smolin]

Quell there's a downside. Accessing my account on some sites, like Morgan
Stanley, the bank, credit cards, will stop me if they don't recognize my IP
and make me jump through hoops - responding to an email or entering a code
they send to my phone.  So that could be annoyingly inconvenient.

But I suppose it's easy to turn off the VPN and turn it back on again?
