If I go ahead and install dd-wrt and configure it with my NordVPN account, will I constantly be receiving messages from gmail, facebook etc... telling me I've logged in from a different location?

I currently run NordVPN as an independent app and switch it on and off as and when I need it. When I forget to switch it off sometimes and open up my email via outlook I get alerted that I'm logging in from different location.

My concern is that running dd-wrt with NordVPN I'm going to somehow keep getting alerts not just myself, but my family who log on via different devices throughout the house.

Also, if having set this up, how easy is it for me to switch countries via NordVPN if I want to get content from geo locked countries?

Many thanks in advance.

I am not using Nord VPN but Private internet access, so I might be wrong, but NordVPN is difficult to switch beacause every server has its own certificate, so you must not only specify the server but also exchange the certificates.

Regarding your other question, yes you are using another IP address when using a VPN so facebook etc. can send you an alert, however the IP address of the VPN server is usually the same so it is not a big problem (at least on my VPN service)

With Private Internet Access VPN, each of the servers do not have their own certificates?
