Lane von Herzen: Unauthorized Deletion of VPN

My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

Unauthorized Deletion of VPN

OIG Hotline, please be apprised that my VPN (VPN 360) has been deleted from my MacBook Air without my participation or consent. My attempts to re-access my account in order to reinstall this software are currently being blocked.

The same VPN (VPN 360) installed on my iPhone had been disconnected without my participation or consent.

Under the current circumstances, it appears that the FBI's intent is that of misappropriating my IP in order to engage in online impersonation through both devices.

Certainly, I have no control whatsoever over the illegal actions of FBI personnel or affiliates who possess "mirror phones" or "mirror laptops" and are navigating the internet in my guise.

This is to reconfirm that all of my conduct, communications, activities, Netflix/cable/tv/computer viewing of photos, written content and film, and cell phone and computer use and content have been and continue to be lawful and honorable in every way, shape and form, reflecting the highest character and integrity in every setting and at all times.

I will endeavor to replace my VPN as soon as possible.

In the meantime, I appreciate your advocacy in ensuring that no false reporting utilizing online impersonation can result in harm to my family members, my pets, my household, my properties, my vehicles or myself.

Thank you for your support regarding this important concern.

Most sincerely,
