Then you go to BoardingArea to read a few articles and whatever other travel forums you may frenquent. By that point, your profile should have been updated with at least some information including that you may be using a VPN.
Actually, FT blocks my commercial VPNs endpoints it seems. 😂. Sure, if you sign into a service, they know who you are. But for me, the main reason I’m using a VPN, is to stop the hotel/coffee shop/public wifi from snooping on me (not the intended service I’m trying to reach).
