I can't believe this is how cellular works. I am in Iowa but my computer says I'm in Minnesota. So when I sign in to my online banking, they always send me a notice of a log in from Minnesota as do some other's and I have to answer of it was me or not. When I do a google search, it will take me to the site in Minnesota so I have to delete it and put in my correct address.

THis is a big annoyance when I'm paying good money for service. Additionally, I was not informed of this when I signed up with you. If not corrected, I will be changing servers and alert others to this problem 

I often get messages on my cell phone about verifying it's me from banks and such.  I think that is mostly 2-step verification, though, and doesn't have anything to do with location.  (The messages often do show I'm in another state, however.)  There are only two websites I can't fully access with the Chrome browser, due to location problems.  My state lottery website is one.  (You can only play online if you are in the state.) Since I can play using the Firefox browser, it's no big deal.  Although Firefox recently asked if I wanted to turn on VPN.  Would doing so likely get me location problems with that browser, too?  I know nothing about VPN.
