Inconsistent LocalTunnel Access: Password Prompt Discrepancy #655

Has anyone experienced an issue with LocalTunnel where accessing it from the same location works fine, but when changing the IP address to a different country, it prompts for password re-entry? What could be causing this discrepancy?

Hey! The reminder page auth is based on your public IP at the moment. That way when you're testing on mobile devices on the same WiFi network, you only have to enter it once on any of the devices.

So once you switch to a different network or turn on your VPN you'll need to put the password in again which with whitelist the IP on that subdomain for 7 days.
