I don't know about Tim but I use a VPN primarily for Australian bank websites, I've had issues with access being blocked when trying to send money from my Australian bank account to the Phippines when the bank website detects that I'm in the Philippines. OTOH using a VPN with the endpoint set to Melbourne I've never had issues because the bank web site software sees an IP address that locates me as if I'm in Australia. And it can be very difficult to reactivate web site access from the Philippines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also for Netflix, since I have the VPN already. The US Netflix has a much larger library than the PIs Netflix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimL Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Oddly. Netflix gave me a warning last night about being on a VPN. Maybe that’ll be the next one to go for US content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
