ATT Mobley IP address and VPN ??

I have the grandfather AT&T Mobley unlimited $20.00 per month internet service. I love it.

I have noticed that when I am parked for 2 to 6 weeks at the same campground the mobley assigns a "random" IP address that may be 400 to 600 miles away. No problem except when I am looking for a local place to eat or shop I have to enter my correct zip code.

Today I am parked outside Nashville, but my IP is 107.77.236.33 some place in Kansas.

Since I do not have a stable IP address, do I need a VPN?

    Depending on the device you're using, there may be add-ons or apps that you can use to "fake" your location. I use "Location Guard" with Chrome and Firefox on my laptop, and "Fake GPS" on my Android phone when I want a different location from where the device thinks I am.

    vpn will give you the same issue, by only suggesting locations where the vpn server is physically located
