Login location keeps changing and I get warned all the time.

Hello everybody!
I keep getting a security reminder that my login location appears abnormal. Thing is that I only login from home, not even from my usual workplace. Right now it says I logged in from Australia but I live in Europe and you can imagine especially in this horrid time, I never left home and much less had a chance to travel to Australia! Days ago it was Peru.
Is anybody else having the same issue?
Lately things are a bit strange and slow. :(

It sound like a VPN, does your browser use a vpn?

I use a VPN as well and yes I get those messages as well.   It could be just what servers you are passing through to get to PinDIY.

you can go to the web page whatismyipaddress(dot) com and it will show you the location of your IP. If it is a location in your providers area, you are not using a VPN or being routed. If it is showing a unexpected location you are being routed either by a VPN or your ISP.
