      Don’t use a VPN?

      What good is doing anyway? Tracking happens mostly outside if IP address. Even at that your IP address is probably dynamic.

        • Not have to expose ssh on my VPS to the public internet
        • Easily reach all my home servers when I travel
        • Route traffic through my VPS when I’m on sketchy open WiFi. Which is when I’ve encountered OP’s sign-in requirement.
