I have noticed it does it to me if I run through a VPN, it will log me out left and right. I don't use one and it never logs me out, which doesn't bother me. I don't see this site as a threat, so I don't need one anyway for being logged in here. I mentioned it to my other friend, who works with computers, and is also somewhat paranoid. He was like someone could get your geolocation, I just looked at him and replied; "That would be brilliant, come to the shooting state, and bother a combat veteran that is also a registered gunsmith. I somehow think that is not going to happen, not sure why the VPN could mess with with one being authenticated. "D**n it Jim I'm a doctor not a computer scientist."
