Hello everyone,

There are cases where due to security reasons, US banks and other financial institutions block access
to accounts when logging from overseas like here in Brazil. I use Opera with VPN to use a proxy server
in the US to go around that. In fact you can use different servers to simulate you are in that country where your account is located but in fact you´re logging in from a different country.

Any thoughts and comments will be welcomed!

Thanks to your advice I installed Opera with VPN.

I tried to log in to two of my accounts today to pay my US bills while in Brazil and I was denied entrance. US institutions´use of geo-targeting is increasing due to augmented security measures to prevent fraud.

I easily was able to re-enter my accounts without calling them by using Opera VPN! Thanks goodness! So this is a viable option to be adopted by anyone.
