VPN causes me two constant headaches.
1. If I want a shopping site to give me information about local stores (e.g., Home Depot), my VPN says I’m over in Seattle or Los Angeles and I get information about what’s in stock at those Home Depot stores.
2. Lots of graphics won’t display correctly if you are using a VPN. Pookie’s Toons often won’t load unless I turn the VPN off.

3. Hard sometimes to get things like Youtube (and other Google-owned sites) to work now... between them blocking VPNs and hating on adblock program... They use the excuse of blocking bots or "for the children".
4. If you use a VPN for some games and you make the mistake of either turning it on one time or turning it off sometimes, they mark you as a suspecious user or even put you down as a bot account. Lost a Guild Wars (1) account doing that once (10 years of playing).
