If you have VPN it will mask your location, giving out false information and that will throw a wobbly in any financial transaction you do.
So just make your choice and trust to luck.

I have AVG's Secure VPN (comes with the paid for AVG Internet Security software) that I use to read various USA news and newspaper websites.

Thanks Percy. I haven't given any card details so it should be okay.

Best thing is for potential users to study up on the benefits & keep in mind that very good security is also good for the baddies of this world. That's why they go there.
It will all be normal (VPN) soon, anyway.
