Sign up via 'straight' ISP connection. Then you can switch back to VPN.
I had to 'verify' myself with CU, Apple, Proton eMail, & AMZ via text msg. but after that,
no problems. It's like the first time I used my new iPad (straight IPS), I had to confirm the device
with many websites I have credentials with.
yeah, it's a PITA :oldfogey:

well..hmmm....i already had most of the website memberships to begin with so I don't get why they'd lock me out just by trying to connect with a VPN?
