<p>Should we then say "public vpn", or "vpn for general public"?</p>
<p>I had an occasion of long travel to the far land. I set up my own
vpn in my office<br>
space to access banks. It worked very good. Your own vpn's are a
way to go.</p>
<p>You give vendor an address. May be vpn should have ip closer to
this address, and<br>
not be "general public vpn" service?<br>

I don't think it's overly unreasonable for voip.ms to want to be
confident<br>
what country their customers are in.<br>
<br>
I suspect it may help avoid credit card fraud (which is likely a
challenge<br>
in the VOIP provider world), and may help reduce the possibility
that<br>
voip.ms services get used by telephone fraudsters.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
