I have shared this many times before, but it's been a long time.

Thanks to modern technology, you CAN access your Fusioncash from anywhere that has an Internet connection, if you leave your home computer running Remote Access Software (such as TeamViewer) and access it over the Internet with the matching client software on your laptop or phone.

The end result, is you are accessing Fusioncash from your home computer (as required in the TOS) even when you are NOT HOME and it is simple to do.

Make sure you use a good password to keep others from hacking it.

If you are technically inclined, you could even set up a VNC Server on your home computer for a more secure connection from anywhere at any time and run it just like you were still home.

I tried this tip from Oldbuddy since I was going on a 2½ week vacation out of state with multiple stops.  I even tested it out before I left (running Team Viewer on two different laptops in my house and controlling one device completely from the other) and it worked perfectly!

Then I left the next day and when I tried to access my home  laptop from my travel one, I got an error message that Team Viewer was not running on the host machine.  DOH!

I think what happened is that my home laptop went to sleep or powered down or something after being dormant for 12 hours -- something I didn't consider and didn't test for before I left!  Lesson learned for next time!

So after about 17 days without using FusionCash, I am back on the wagon as of today! A few observations in my time away: it WAS nice to take a vacation and not feel compelled to complete the daily checklist to earn 22 cents; trading that 22 cents for a few beautiful ocean sunrises, a few rides at a different amusement park, and a sobering visit to the deadliest civil war battlefield (and a return to a few honeymoon dining spots with my wife) was WELL worth it!

Glad you had a great vacation. The solution to the problem you had, is to set the host up as a service and get an account with Team Viewer so you can assign a permanent password. Both very simple to do by following the instructions on their website.

The first time I went out of the country, I had my account suspended. But it was re-instated after some explanation. Because I do not want to endure that experience again, I usually just refrain from logging into my account until I return back to the United States.

Your body does not need to be in the United States, as long as your home computer is. It's your IP Address they check.

What happens if you move to a different location or change internet companies?  Planning on moving within the six months and would love to know how to handle this.  Don't want to lose my account

You just need to update your account with your new address and don't use public/shared connections to access the site. It's more of irregular or suspicious activity that will get you flagged like showing that you're in another country or accessing the site from multiple places in a short period
