Do you use a vpn for everday use?

Yes. Always.

 

webmail providers, banks and similar websites ask for verification to make sure it really is you trying to log in when you use a vpn service. some websites even block vpn services' ip ranges.
unless of course you use an anchor/static vpn ip every time you connect to those websites?

 

I uses it for everyday since NSA reveal

Always connected to the VPN.

 

I just use the included Windows VPN along with Remote Desktop for times that I need to the server at my work when I'm at home.

 

Never had problems, so far.
I can access my bank account even if my IP (VPN's IP) is from abroad and not always the same one.

Also with Gmail, no issues. Unless I log in from VPN IP, log out and few seconds after log in again from my real IP or from another IP. (but usually I do not do it).

 

glad all's working well for you. though i heard otherwise from many vpn users.

 

im looking into doing the same. unfortunately it's a little bit more complicated on linux.

i will also use VPN to log into banks, glad to see you had little problem. although i will probably call in my bank and tell them that Im using a server in another country to log in.
