Hello,

For your yahoo email, try disabling enhanced tracking protection, clearing yahoo cookies, or potentially whitelisting yahoo from the antivirus. For the VPN, you can also try changing location Lastly, you can also try disabling WebRTC (about:config in search bar, search for media.peerconnection.enabled, and set it to false It it works in private browsing mode, then it means that an extension is causing the problem.

For Merrill, since it is a financial institution, it is often required to disable VPN, to prevent malicious activity or fraud.
