I don't understand why there is quite a few reviewes giving this product a low review due to the need of an active account. The description does state that this is not a free service. For me atleast, this addon works great and I don't notice any performance issues. And it does work, it makes me happy that to know that its working whenever I sign into my accounts and I have to authorize my account due to the ip coming from a different state. Anyway this is a great product and I do recommend this if you already have the paid account.
