- I explain how you can work remotely and travel without your job knowing your location.
Routers Used:
Flint (Home Router): amzn.to/4bURoD6

FYI for all please make sure your connections are all wired with ethernet and also turn off Bluetooth connectivity and wifi on your work laptop.
Can you share why? I’m looking to learn
@@jadejoyner2043 because your location on laptop from your job can be picked up using Bluetooth connection being on or wifi connections on. Definitely turn off your location also.
I would like to see those videos. I’ve traveled some and gotten away with it but as soon as ii signed in to VPN once my boss called me saying IT calls wanting to verify that i was in Amsterdam 😮 luckily she knew that i would be going there and working.
@@toniay4202 The best way is to buy a super router with free VPN built in and set up GL router with your home router so it can pick up your home IP. Your GL router will first connect to your home router then it will connect to your VPN set up at home. Your VPN set up on your home router will be the IP connecting to your job.
Right, I am taking precautions by hardwiring to the travel router only, turning off bluetooth, and going on airplane mode. Scary thing is sometimes google searches know I am in a different country.
My current job my employer knows I am in another country (they moved me to contract) But in speaking to the sysAdmin about this topic he said ... another rookie mistake he has seen: Make sure your laptop/Device timezone is manually set to your works timezone.
A lot of websites and services take you locally set timezone, not your IP address to determine your location for services/ads/etc.
I keep two clocks on the wall
Dont forget to not use Bluetooth and Wifi, both will give away your location.
How do you do this?
@@termintor1but what if you need to use headphones for work?
@@jasmineali5699 USB headset ;)
wired headphones!@@jasmineali5699
Great insights, Tech Bruv! Your video sheds light on a crucial aspect of remote work and travel. The idea of using routers to discreetly manage your location is quite innovative. I appreciate the tips about connectivity and the potential legal and financial implications. It's essential to navigate this space with awareness. Keep up the informative content!"
I would like if you Could show me how you setup the routers from the start, thanks man! Appreciate it!
Yes please me too
Did y’all find another video with this info?!
Can you make the video?
Please can you make a video for the setup for this ?
Very well-done video. Thanks!
Can you post the wire guard setup instructions?
I just purchased the GliNet travel router, if you get a VPN you can connect the travel router to the VPN and set it to the US city you live in, then while traveling connect the router to the VPN to block where you are
Which model you got ? Was it easy for to set it up with vpn?
Can I email you? I need help. I can compensate you
yeaaaa boiiiiiiiii Tim Ferris the goat. Get it my G
An employee at my company got fired when our company found out they were working from another country w/o their knowledge. I’d just tell them upfront if thinking of it…
How they'd find out?
Was he using a vpn?
I’ve noticed sometimes when I log on my work phone or work tablet, a red dot turns on and this one time when I was working remotely out of state with my supervisor’s knowledge but I’m assuming she did not relay the info to the company’s IT dept, the phone all the sudden acted funny and it read that the owner of property was retrieving location or something to that effect…so I’m assuming that is how they got found out…
I just started following you thank you for the info please do a video on how you set up the routers i saw another guy on youtube and his process looked complicated
I may make a tutorial soon
Can you do it please !
Good advice. I help people make this type of transition every week. I would recommend the gl-Inet Axt 1800 however. It’s a better than the 750. I’ve made a few videos on the subject and this router.
Please share the link how to setup the router
Share your video link
I need your help!
@@TheDicampoI can’t share on this channel but you can find me on YT
@@TheDicampoThere's a girl that works at Google that shows you how to do it for free on tiktok.
Thanks for the info, I'm going to be working remote in tech sales soon.
Update? And how did it work out? I’m about to do the same. Sales, but different industry.
Thanks for this so much this helped
Hi! I can have the large modem im the USA connected to rhe router. But i can bring the small one to a different country to work on Zoom? Is the internet faster this way instead of having a travel router and VPN?
Hey my dad uses the WiFi at home for work too and so does everyone else. Will the flint be okay with that or should I get the flint 2
Could anyone link a tutorial set up for this? I tried searching it on CZcams and nothing useful comes up. Or if you can give a pointer on what phase to search
Hello bro! Can you do a video on how to setup the routers please.
The first thing you need to do, is bring food from home with you, so the router will think you are still at home
Quick question: I use HVD access via VMware Horizon Client on my MacBook Pro. I can manage my own MacBook Pro setting the way, I want. The only question I had, if I use Nord VPN with kill Switch will my employer still find out? I work at the bank with very high security measurements. Let me know your thoughts?
I told my boss to his face nicely when in a rare in person meeting that I could travel and work remotely. Seemed fine with it. Just ask
You're trying to get people fired just because you got lucky 😂 Even asking will draw scrutiny. So if you try this after getting denied. You're more likely to be caught
Can you make videos on how to do the set up with the routers and your set up
Hello can you tag the video in which you show work set up and how to set up yout home and travel router?
Can you show me exactly how to setup this complete system so I move to another country to work
Hello could list more about how you set up the remote set up at the main location you want to be from and the location you will really work from?
Router and Work set up would be great
Hey buddy, Pls do a vid on the set up, thanks !
please make a vid on the router set up process. Eg., you bought the beryl AX bc it has faster speeds, 1 wan/2.5gb port. You unpackaged it, powered it up, connected to the 2.5gb wan port, use laptop to connect to the wifi signal, went to the browser, made changes to the DNS port, downloaded wireguard, setup VPN with mullvad (or whoever) by downloading config files, then what...
The issue of geolocation has been mentioned by someone else (turn off WiFi and bluetooth). But there is also the issue of what to do if your home Internet stops working or your home router/VPN endpoint needs rebooting and whether anyone will be at home to do it. Or perhaps you don't have a physical home at all. A possible strategy around this is to install a VPN endpoint on a rented server near your city. E.g. Linode or whatever. The server could even be left shutdown most of the time and only used as a backup (avoiding costs if you pick a host which only charges for uptime).
Something else to be aware of is that if discovered you could not only be breaching your visa terms (working while on a tourist visa), but there could be financial implications for your company (such as tax on workers applicable in each location). Depending on your country and the company itself it isn't outside the possibility of the company seeking to recover those costs from you. It's very unlikely but something to be aware of when deciding to hide it from your employer.
Another problem is, that some employers have work-issued laptops. They are the admin and they can't turn off the ability to disable location for you. They've done this on my MacBook but they also know where I am so I am not hiding anything.
They also don't say anything if I work from a different device, so I could change the location settings on my personal device and work. But then they may monitor for inactivity (personally I think that sort of monitoring is reserved for people who don't perform at work, but you never know from employer to employer and depending on the employer)
@@termintor1if you can’t disable the location on your work laptop.. if you try his method will they know your not in the states?
@@lovelyshelly220 I have two work Macbooks, both I can turn the location settings off. If they wanted, both jobs could very easily just switch it back on. To answer your question, if it is a work issue laptop, and they have their security software installed, YES, they could remotely enable any options they want, enable location and then for example use FIND MY DEVICE/MACBOOK to locate your position based on bluetooth and wifi router around you. Think of this, how does a Macbook find your device if it doesn't have a GPS module inside it. ...
....Having said that, I think that's only if someone goes looking. If you do your work, fly under the sysadmins' radar, and consistently connect to your device from the same IP, it shouldn't be a problem. I can't imagine a large company spending time launching investigations into everybody's true location. Some companies might have automatic flags for it if there are contractual legal issues. Generally, you should be okay.
But the router connection is the best, the kill switch that is away from the device doesn't show a VPN software installed and is idiot-proof because the kill switch is on the router.
Just don't work near a mosque lol my friend got busted because he was near a mosque in SEAsia and call to prayer came on when he was presenting lol
Its very cheap, I got three in case one has problems and a spare for good luck lol
@@lovelyshelly220Yes possibly.
Could all this be bypassed with a VPN? Nord, Express ect?
I need to do this but without taking my work laptop with me overseas. Any recommendations for a discrete remote software or method to connect to the work laptop (which will be left in the US) from my personal laptop (which will be with me overseas)?
can you please make a video on how you set everything up? I hear what you are staying but I cant figure out how to put everything together lol.
Make a video about setting up both routers to make appear we are home.
Great video, can you do a video explaining how to setup the two Routers
Please video on how yo set up routers
So where is the video on how to connect routers??
say i buy the express vpn aircove router and leave that at home while traveling Abroud, how do i connect my travel router say the 1800 to the vpn aircove router i left home using that as my main ip adress?
Do you offer this as a service I need help ASAP I have both routers
Will you record a step by step for setup?
but how you deal with the issue of having a local sim? Boss is calling on your phone or writing you a text
what if the job requires you to use THEIR OWN VPN? can this method still work?
Question. I don't need to hide where I am at with my job. I just need to be hardwired when I am traveling . My job has a firewall so I cannot mimics my router from home. I just can't use wifi for work. would this work for me? for example airbnb's or hotels or other people's home who only have wifi
Has a vpn worked?
@@Juju_7 I didn’t need a vpn
Quick question. So, im working fot a call center where o take inbound calls. Im using my own computer and my work is web based, i don't have to download anything.
I'll be moving to the Philippines with my gf, and im moving from the US. Would this same thing work or is there anything else you'd recommend?
Also, what's the purpose of the router connected to another router? I wont be at coffee shops and such, I'll just be at my home in the Philippines
Hello my gf and I are looking to move out of America to the Phillipines this fall to get away from the toxic western lifestyle if possible do you have any remote work for us we are still young (19 and 18) but we are very determined on this matter and can work for a cheaper salary so we can move out as soon as possible it would be greatly appreciated if so I can send you my email so that you can get to know us and decide if were a right fit.
Wat about if your employer doesn't want to give you a laptop? The equipment they sent me was a desktop. I asked them numerous times if I can request a laptop & they flat out said no. Im thinking of just packing up the whole desktop & connect a VPN to it. Do you think the desktop will work in Africa? ie: where Im expating to
I have a desktop and want to work remotely in Nairobi.
Will a regular VPN work? Or do you need specifically a travel router like you showed?
it depends on what your goals are and how strict your company is. or on how safe you want to be.
So what resources and job boards should I be using to find a remote job?
Don't ask for permission beg for forgiveness
Can you do a tutorial of the whole vpn and router set up a
Need a video on detailed set up
Wait - why does the employer care if you’re traveling or not? My employer only told me I need a wired connection. They never banned traveling.
What about work phones. How can you contact your employers without getting caught being over seas?
What’s your opinion on the Mango travel router?
just looked at it. it only does 100mbs, i personally would just spend more since it will last you a while
I need help in setting this up. Anyone able to assist?
my company actually would let me work in foreign countries for about 90 days out of a year....do i need to work with a visa if im planning on traveling and working in diff countries for like a month at a time??
Lol you will need a Visa to go to certain places yes…it all depends on you country of birth and where you traveling to
Can I do the same thing using the office ethernet connection to appear like I am using the office network while abroad?
thats a crazy idea - maybe if you hide the router somewhere
@@afksosa yes I can hide the router it is just a matter that IT cannot detect it. Is it possible?
@@Mmz322 not sure to be honest, depends how strong your company network is - pretty sure if someone were to look it might show that there is an unknown router connected
Great tips, I have been doing this for a few years. I am about to do this with a new job. What scares me the most is I am already travelling and they might send a computer to my residence. Quietly shitting myself about that. The address is my mother's house, I guess I can get her to log in for me and then RDP into the machine so they check it off as, oh yeah he has received it.
Then I switch to my MacBook and if anyone asks, I just say,yeah dude I much prefer working on my MAC.
I think this will work, the only thing that could screw me is if they want to do a shadow session at the start, and they use notice the RDP, hopefully, it will be me watching their screen... or some situation like this.
I think it will be okay, but I need excuses, or tips to reduce the chances of this from happening
A lot of these really depend on how flexible the company is and how your immediate team is like. I can't work on my mac for example and I can't RDP. You could open up a black screen or a screenshot of your desktop, share that and act like it is frozen 😂
Or say your internet went down and you're on mobile data so you can't screen share lol
@afksosa if they screen share do they know your not in the states?
I had a remote job. Tried using vpn on router and everything was ok until i realised the company had a inhouse vpn and security programme okta verify which i couldnt bypass
Anyone have a solution?
If you are a US Citizen working remotely for a US company, you can file for the “Foreign Earned Income Exclusion” and receive 100% of your Federal tax back in your return for earnings up to $120,000
very interesting but it looks like you need to be working overseas for at least a year with a permanent place of work/business in another country.
Hey tge company I work for has me log in through a private VPN, and I purchased tge express vpn air cove and everytime I log 8n it boots me out, is your method different from mine
Does your vpn have all the correct FIPS encryptions? if not that can cause some connection issues.
Did you figure it out?
It is probably using a known VPN IP range.
I will like help with the setup
How did you do this with routers? My company laptop is remote managed and I can't download normal VPN like Nord, etc. (it's restricted)
You won't download it on the device, you download Nord onto to the router itself then hardwire in. This way you're not downloading any files
Yoooo! My G make a tutorial how you setup your computer and router etc
How has this worked out for you? is this something you're still doing? any resources you can recommend?
yes I still do this - I talk about it more on my tiktok @afksosa
@@afksosais it possible to connect a work computer with a work vpn to pne router? Then connect that router to a US vpn without a second router at home in the US?
You mentioned to block your colleagues and boss from your social media. Is it illegal to work remote from a difference country?
Illegal? 🤣
Great video. Are there any other tips for avoiding to be caught by the employer if the WireGuard routers are used ? Someone in the IT department can notice a large ping from a network VPN-connected device and run a traceroute command which will detect that it goes through international internet service providers, yet the IP address will still look US local. If there's a power outage at the US-based router (I plan on having a backup router in another state), will I be notified that the node is down or will the laptop fail to connect to internet ? Any other things to watch out for that you've experienced ? Thanks
Don't really know anything about IT tracing you via ping. I guess if they really want to catch you then they will. You can tell if your VPN is offline when you try to connect your travel router. The only backup I really have is that I have wireguard also set up on my phone.If everything fails you can blame your ISP or use all your sick days and go home lol.
@@afksosa Thanks for the response. Do you also happen to know if you're outside the US for so long that when it's tax season the US gov will require my company to complete forms/pay fines because one of their employees has spent longer than X days outside American grounds ? I've heard this to be a big problem with not wanting people to work abroad long-term
@@afksosa👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🤣🤣🤣🤣 FACTS!! USE SICK LEAVE!!😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I have to be wired with a Ethernet since I work in healthcare. How can I do that being that I need a Ethernet?
the travel router has an ethernet port
Does this still work if the job requires a vpn connection to work
Works for me. I have to connect to a work VPN also but not all the time.
Hey, i am about to travel and i just got employed, i will get my equipment (PC) shipped to me, i will get it then travel, is there any recommendations or additional tips ?? Because i am really nervous about it 😂
how did it go bud
How can I contact you for assistance?
Hello thanks for this video can you please show how to use the router and advise on what type of router is best I work in the uk remotely and want to travel while working but my work restricts us 🙄😅
What jobs can I apply for ?
I'm guessing you're doing site-to-site vpn. I'll be trying this soon as well
Brother do you know more about this
Question. Why would you need your job to allow you to work fully remotely, if you're trying to be discreet about where you're working from? If they let you work from anywhere, why do you need to keep it a secret?
privacy and peace of mind. some people are allowed to work from home (not anywhere) but still want to travel.
@@afksosa Yes. That's my point. Some people are not allowed to work anywhere. WFH and "remote" are not the same.
But you were saying you need your employer's permission to work from anywhere on the planet - yet, work discreetly.
I'm saying if you have permission, there is no need to be discreet.
That's all. I hope it's clear.
COST OF LIVING.
Cost of Living-based wages is a very real and implemented concept in businesses with global staff. After 6 months your company might start asking questions and see you as an opportunity to save some coin.
There are PROs and CONs. One of the CONs is you have an expat wage and get to live like a king. If I am getting the same wage based on local costs, all of a sudden the whole thing is not attractive anymore and I am putting myself in a worse position.
The entire reason I am doing it is because I am priced out of my local housing market and I feel like I am in a prison sentence, waiting for retirement while paying off someone else investment property. Even with an above-average salary. This is my way of beating the system and like hell, I am going to allow for pay cuts based on COLA.
Society has squeezed me, I will keep my secret and my salary. Now I can afford to save %90 of my salary and I don't want my new employer to start rubbing their greasing little hands at that figure, as my current employer has just started to do.
@@gabrielschroll3824my company is remote friendly but only allows us to travel for 30 days outside the country for tax reasons hence why I have to be discreet
@@gabrielschroll3824 It's because no employer will grant that permission because it creates tax liabilities with the foreign country that they're not set up to operate in. Hence why he has to try to trick the VPN. But there's no way to do that really with these router tricks, their IT department can still detect that he is overseas, but no one really audits that stuff unless something actually happens. I've worked at several Big 4s and have worked abroad for months, which is not allowed and have never got in trouble. I don't use any router tricks either.
I hope your boss doesn’t see this video
0:06 his boss watching this be like: 🤫🧏♂️
PART 2! YOU DIDNT EXPLAIN ANYTHING ABOUT THE SETUP
Bro you should add the link to you other video so its easy to find it
which video?
Brother pls how can I have your contact need to discuss this with you
Are you still having a problem connecting to the VPN?
You can't just work from abroad if you have a job that allows you to work remotely. Remote work is meant to be only within the United States. Otherwise you create tax liabilities for your employer with the foreign country that you're working from. Remember tax is based on where the work is conducted. You have to be a contractor in order to work from abroad, not a W-2 employee.
Why is this setup better than using a service like NordVPN?
I answer this question on my tiktok
Public VPN services have known IP ranges. It is possible for your company to detect that you are using a VPN. A better approach is to rent a server in a city near your normal home location and install a VPN on it. That way it won't have a publicly known IP.
@@LiMuBai You can do either (physical server or a virtual server in the cloud). My recommendation is to use a cheap shared server in the cloud such as with Linode and then run a VPN server on that. That way if the server goes down it can be brought back up again without anyone having to physically access it.
@@tnetroP No company really audits this stuff. I worked at several big 4s and even they don't audit it and they have the most stringent rules of any company.
Huh. 4 hour work week is primarily about delegating job tasks to others cheaply. Not sure I see the relevance. The content about automating income streams isn’t about working full stop. What employer is checking your home IP address?
GL.Inet is a chinese company. Made in china - chinese company - reading company site blogs folks see network traffic going back to china - no thanks! HOw about hooking wireshark up to the WAN port and analyzing what chinese domains it is phoning home too?
Fuck got I got caught, still working though, but now what?
howd you get caught
So are you still working…2 weeks later??
@@afksosa IT caught me, but in essence I was only working with a commercial VPN, which I don't recommend you use.
@@lonnielove01 I am thankfully, I had a ton of PTO they let me use, but they did deny me access to applications. I didn't do exactly what Justin suggested, I only had a commercial VPN setup and they know wheb you are using them. Anyways I have to have a different setup because I'm using regular nighthawk router with VPN and not wireguard. I prefer wireguard but nighthawks don't have wireguard unfortunately
@@jayz25ro ah i see, yeah my method uses your home ip
Summay: how to work remotely?. basically get a remote job. 😂
