Members may attempt to access the BLC service while they are in a foreign country and see a message stating that their access is denied.  Access to the BLC is not guaranteed due to the policies set by the vendor to protect against viruses and malware.  Members can purchase a VPN as a workaround.  A VPN (Virtual Private Network), is a tool that encrypts your internet traffic and hides your IP (Internet Protocol) address.  This ensures that there is a secure and private connection to the internet thus preventing third parties from spying or collecting data about your activity because all information stays hidden behind a code.
