In my local paper in the states, a volunteer fighter checked at an ATM to see if his stimulus deposit had arrive, he check his balance and it was $8,200,000.

Stimulus is a mixed bag some will not get theirs and some will get millions hahahaha.

On a side note: Many websites are not available to us in the Philippines. To get around this you need a VPN.

Or if you download free Panda Dome anti virus software, you also get a stateside VPM good for 150 megs daily.

I used several sites, IRS and TurboTax including the one that allowed non refund filers to enter their account numbers.  I never needed to use a VPN.

My ATM balance is much higher than $8,200 and that is without any stimulus deposit.

A VPN allows you to visit banned sites that some Philippine isp's won't allow you to visit.

Your ATM balance may be over $8,200 but that Fire Fighter balance was over $8.2 million.

Sorry, I can't count.

I know what a VPN is.  I just would be surprised if an ISP  would ban the IRS but I guess anything is possible.

They would ban a vpn if its IP was blacklisted and that does happen because people use vpns to hack US government sites.

I use a VPN to read The Pittsburgh Post Gazette or sometimes if  I want to research someone and with my a Philippine ip address I am  blocked from entering the site.

I only mentioned it because it is free with no advertisements plus the ip address shown to the various websites is an American ip. For a fee you can choose an ip address from many different countries.

Its the web site that blocks you from abroad. TV stations are the biggest bitches about that. I can't watch US shows like survivor etc. NO I will not be getting a VPN.

HI
Hey Munchie! May I ask what software do you use to protect yourself online? I can't imagine not using a VPN! Also for those of you going to IRS site that using a VPN will keep you off the site as it looks at you as a robot! Most gov sites here also block you for the same reason! I can't imagine doing any online banking without at least the full Bitdefender sweet including the VPN!

"I can't imagine not using a VPN!"

One reason for not using a VPN is that they slow your data down.  I have tried 10 or more different ones and they all slow you down to varying degrees.  It is not a big hit if you start with good internet but if your starting point is bad, a VPN will make it unbearable.
In my case I start off with a speed of 2.5/.6, so even a 10% slowdown is a killer.

Free VPN's.......or are they

There are a lot of techy articles out there about the hazards of using a free VPN.  Here is just one article with reasons why you shouldn't use a free VPN.
