To the best of my knowledge, while this person reset my account so that I could log in (from my house), I don't think Wells Fargo has any intention of rethinking their geo-IP based restrictions on logging in.
So, if you travel, consider carefully whether to try and log into something directly vs. doing so over VNC.
For precisely this reason I always ensure that my banking traffic goes via a VPN through a relatively consistent set of origin IPs to the wider Internet. Solves a lot of headaches, although PayPal were confused that I could be in California and have my traffic come from Chicago (which they thought was New Jersey...).
