VPN users - how best to deal with this situation?

As I have written previously, I connect to the internet through a VPN probably 98% of the time. It seems safer.

Recently, my bank started to reject any incoming sessions that come from me when I am using the VPN. So, to do my banking (which should be more secure, not less), I have to turn off the VPN, log into the bank and do my thing, and then turn it back on.

Have you run into this? It’s annoying as a customer, and it seems insecure (to me) to have the bank disallow connecting with a VPN. They probably have some rationale to protect themselves, but they don’t care about the customer.

I have zero hope that anyone at the bank’s customer service number would even understand my issue.

Any ideas?
