Regarding VPNs (which I know little about), if I use a VPN, the bank's or FI's online system will not detect that I am logging in from outside the USA, right?
I've just joined ACA, to eventually open an account with SDFCU, thanks to Jingthing's and Ujongjoe's input.
Now I'm thinking a VPN might give me an extra layer of ... what's the word, autonomy, anonymity, discretion...? Although I'm not trying to hide anything, just trying to adapt ..., survive?
So any insights, suggestions regarding using a VPN for online banking/brokerage for an overseas American is appreciated.
Thank you.
