I've never needed a VPN to hide my IP address, because I don't do illegal torrenting of movies or music in America. I know the record and movie industry gets tough on that sueing people that do that. The rare times I tried some movies, I hope Peerblock protected me.
But if I live in the Philippines for 8 months at a time, my Scottrade Investment Account would get locked if I access them from an IP address outside of America. SO that's when I need a VPN to keep using my Scottrade account. Anyone have success doing such things that need a VPN? How does internet access work and start when you bootup and need the VPN to hide you? Is then all of your internet access IP address spoofed?

Yes, and it all runs through the VPN. Personally, if it's an investment account, I'd make sure you know who you are going through, and only run what you absolutely need to through the VPN.
I use a VPN religiously, whenever I'm on the internet. The only time I run without one is if the VPN connection accidentally drops and I don't notice it. One thing I'd caution you about is that some sites will block access from known VPN IPs, so it might actually make it even more difficult to connect with your Scottrade account. You might want to check with Scottrade to see.
I should have bookmarked the VPN but there was one in 65 countries. They had many cities in the USA too. So I would fake my US address for many things as my brother's house, then I would live in the Philippines until the economy got better.
Or maybe I should retire in the Philippines and make money doing remote and freelance work, and try to write ebooks for amazon kindle. Try anything internet to make money, except for porn.
Yeah, I went to a Scottrade Broker and he said I need a US home address. I can't have an account if I live in the Philippines. He said if they found out I'm accessing from the Philippines my account could get locked.
