Thank you so much. I was reading some advise to another user about using a
server that was out of the country, and not having your IP address show as
to be tracked. Is that something I need to worry about? And where do I
look to see that? I truly do appreciate your time to answer my questions.
I just don't want to end up doing something wrong and regretting it later.
