I travel a lot for work, and use a cell modem as my primary internet source. Even when I'm at home, I get cloudflare captchas and sites requiring 2fa all the time, since my IP changes constantly.

I'm in SC, but constantly get geolocated in GA, AL, and NC.

I put up a VPS with WireGuard on it just to allow me to always be in Seattle for banking and business sites that constantly require 2fa due to location changes.
