>Today I received two emails from accounts.google.com regarding two of my email accounts, indicating that a suspicious sign in was prevented. The emails indicated that the attempt was made from a certain IP and the address in Florida. At the time when this happened, I was connected via VPN to a customer network in Florida. And I had my Outlook open, which connects every so many minutes to check for new emails. Is it possible that since I was VPNed to a server in Florida, Google "saw" my Outlook connections as if there were done from a different than my IP and from a different physical location?

If your VPN disallows other internet activity from the local machine while connected (some do, some don't), and if on the VPN you have the capability of internet access, I would opt for the VPN-used-the-Florida-internet theory.
