So, if you travel, consider carefully whether to try and log into something
directly vs. doing so over VNC.

For precisely this reason I always ensure that my banking traffic goes 
via a VPN through a relatively consistent set of origin IPs to the wider 
Internet.

Solves a lot of headaches, although PayPal were confused that I could be 
in California and have my traffic come from Chicago (which they thought 
was New Jersey...).
