Hi Nala!

I have a question regarding this IP check.

Does this mean that both, the IP address and (logical and) the cookie
need to be correct, or is it an inclusive logical or?

I sometimes find myself switching location of the server of the VPN I am
using. In such a case, would I still be logged in, based on the correct
cookie, or would I be logged out, because my IP address does not match
my previous address?

Regards,

Zelphir
