A VPN is like an encrypted tunnel to a proxy address. Think of all the traffic of all the people using the VPN as funneling through one server online, or one of a handful. So all those people will be masquerading as if they originated from that server address. You may live in Texas and you look like you're in Maine or Canada.

Thanks, but do they always switch around where your location appears or will it always go where the VPN company is? I mean, if it could always show me as in TX but never in CA I'd be happy.

And it sucks your multifactor deal won't work on a "rooted phone".
