I used a "paid service" and was locked out of my acct for almost a year. They said that thieves use the VPNs also. So I guess it puts you in the same boat as a thief.
Just ask your trading company what they suggest. And I would suggest talking to security and not the first person that answers...
Using a VPN can get your trading acct locked up. E-Trade has a token you can use that keeps you from having issues. Merrill Lynch/Edge have this strick policy that you can't use a VPN at all. Took me a year to get my money back after they locked up the acct. And they won't explain things to you...
