[QUOTE="Ratsima, post: 1822201, member: 402210"] No to both. I never use a VPN when logging on to an Apple site. I generally only use a VPN to get to blocked or geo-restricted sites. However, my ISP gives me a new IP address about once a day. The location of that IP is always different and rarely anywhere near where I live. The one I have today is located where I live (Nakhon Ratchasima). The one I had yesterday is in Surin, about 175K east of here. The one I had day before yesterday is in Ubon Ratchatani, which is 335K east of here. The one I had before that is in Bangkok, about 250K southwest of here. Those results are from here: [url=https://www.whatismyip.com/ip-address-lookup/]IP Address Lookup - Find IP Address Location - WhatIsMyIP.com(R)[/url] But, I'd hate to think Apple would use IP geolocation to determine that I'm signing in from a different browser or device. Surely there must be a better way. After all, Apple Maps seems always know where I am, why doesn't Apple? And, yes, I do keep track of my IP addresses: [CODE]Fri May 3 09:34:06 +07 2019 New IP 188.123.125.141 Fri May 3 10:34:10 +07 2019 New IP 101.51.75.251 Fri May 3 15:34:27 +07 2019 New IP 1.1.182.208 Sat May 4 14:35:40 +07 2019 New IP 1.2.172.4 Sat May 4 17:35:54 +07 2019 New IP 162.254.207.103 Sat May 4 18:35:57 +07 2019 New IP 1.2.172.4 Sun May 5 14:37:02 +07 2019 New IP 101.51.221.49 Mon May 6 04:37:50 +07 2019 New IP 87.98.236.22 Mon May 6 05:37:54 +07 2019 New IP 101.51.221.49 Mon May 6 09:38:08 +07 2019 New IP 51.75.215.63 Mon May 6 10:38:12 +07 2019 New IP 101.51.221.49 Mon May 6 15:38:30 +07 2019 New IP 188.123.125.141 Mon May 6 16:38:34 +07 2019 New IP 101.51.221.49[/CODE] [/QUOTE]
