PSA: "Save network" and VPN

Hello,

If you use a VPN service to connect through to GW2, do not save your network for authentication. Because the VPN service provider usually has a very small range of IP addresses, a hacker could skip authentication by using the same VPN service as you to get into the same range!

If you wish to continue using a VPN but dislike the hassle to always check for e-mail, setup mobile authentication. Grabbing your phone is faster than checking for e-mail.

I think your advice has merit, Ettanin. Thank you for sharing.

And yes, mobile auth is always the way to go, when possible!
