I am scheduled to depart for Australia in two weeks and would prefer finishing an online driving safety course over accumulating demerit points.
I plan to use a VPN to access the course, although I am curious about whether this approach is legally compliant. Since the course only requires my active participation and focus, I wonder if there are any complications with using such a method. I would appreciate any advice or alternative suggestions regarding this situation.
Using a VPN for an online safety course is something I’ve seen done in similar situations, and while it technically works, there may be potential complications. Some institutions may have regional restrictions or monitoring measures in place that could flag the use of a VPN, which might lead to difficulties verifying your location. My personal experience suggests that contacting the course provider for clarification is a wise step. This can help prevent any unintended issues with course validation or perceived noncompliance with local regulations.
Hey Iris_92Paint! I totally get where you’re coming from – trying to sort the online course while gearing up for a trip can be a bit of a juggling act. I was just wondering if you’ve thought about what might happen if the system flags your VPN? I mean, sometimes it seems like they focus on the IP location for other reasons beyond just the course content. Also, do you know if there’s any info available from others who’ve done it this way before? I’m curious about whether course providers alter their protocols based on where someone is connecting from. It might be worth a quick chat with their support team to see if there’s any official guidance; sometimes they have a workaround or at least a little heads-up on what to expect. What do you think? Would love to hear if you’re leaning toward any backup plans. Safe travels and good luck with the course! 
hey, i did a similar courss last month. using a vpn may mess up location checks if they care bout that. im thinkin its safer to check in with support. hope you have a good time drivin and enjoy your trip!
