Wanted to ask how folks would configure a networking setup to access USA financial accounts online w/o alerting them to your foreign residence after you move abroad. I know the two glinet routers to your home IP is the recommendation but wouldn't work in this case since you no longer have a domestic residence and/or ISP. Let's assume that you don't have a friend who would allow you to connect to their ISP.
Would the next best thing be to route traffic to a static residential proxy through some VPN client like Wireguard or Tailscale? My concern here is the quality of the residential IP; not sure if the conventional wisdom is that the residential proxy IPs sold online are as "contaminated" as the IPs via the commercial VPN services like Proton VPN or Nord VPN.
Regarding proxy providers, I've heard that Windscribe is good for cost-effective static residential IPs, but would welcome any other recommendations.
I've also thought about configuring a VPN server in AWS but saw that the costs per GB for traffic was considerable.

@Ethan really appreciate the recs---would a cloud datacenter's IP not be sus? Thought folks normally go with residential IPs to avoid suspicion

up to u
🤷 no clue
u could always just use a generic vpn

generic vpn is def sus from what I heard
some expats I know have gone the resi proxy route with little trouble
