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.
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?
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?
@@TrevorPhilipsBrobut what if you need to use headphones for work?
@@jasmineali5699 USB headset ;)
wired headphones!@@jasmineali5699
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.
Please can you make a video for the setup for this ?
guide is available, click link in video description!
Bro please make the video showing how to set this up.

Don't ask for permission beg for forgiveness
For some companies going outside the country with their equipment is a red line. They may not be any forgiving.
@@Placesandspaces35 yep definitely a risk. Lucky for me they forgave me.
I wasn’t using a setup like described in the video. And they caught it only after I returned home several days later, doing an IP audit
@@LuSt4boost Tunneling back to your home is an effective method like the video states. But if the company uses gps tracking software on their devices and Bluetooth can be a risk as well to give up someone’s location. But knowing the risks is always good so you can be prepared for whatever. Glad it worked out for you.
@@Placesandspaces35 thats a really good point
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.
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 !
@afksosa bro make the tutorial.
@@afksosa did you make one yet?
@@sokosbeautyandnaturalhairc4554 tutorial is in video description
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!"
Can you post the wire guard setup instructions?
guide is available, click link in video description!
So where is the video on how to connect routers??
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.
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.
Hello bro! Can you do a video on how to setup the routers please.
Make a video about setting up both routers to make appear we are home.
Some remote jobs for banks and such make you install a dedicated line and modem at your home for security reasons. Can a travel router still work on that?
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
Can you maybe help met with the setup?
You still have to prevent dns leaks and also make sure to not use Wi-Fi but also be weary of nearby Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals as can triangulate your physical location while a vpn will only change your location via your internet connection
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...
Please video on how yo set up routers
Where can we get the details on how to set this up?! Did you make another video that I am missing?
guide is available in video description
I hope your boss doesn’t see this video
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 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.
PART 2! YOU DIDNT EXPLAIN ANYTHING ABOUT THE SETUP
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)
@@TrevorPhilipsBroif 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.
This video was awesome Im about to subscribe ❤ did you do the video on how to set up your equipment?
The hardest thing is a job that lets you work remotely the rest is easy
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…
@@KH_AlwaysThat’s a very unwise employee right there.
Hey, the company I work for gave a VPN (HP USB-C Dock G5), will I be able to do what you what you are talking about here?
Can you please make the video on how to setup the router or point us to the right direction?
Can you make a video detailing the router setup?
I heard this exact content, almost word for word, on another blogger's video
can you show me? i'm curious
Yeah, a lot of digital nomads are spreading the word now. It gets views that’s for sure.
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.
Very well-done video. Thanks!
Could anyone link a tutorial set up for this? I tried searching it on UA-cam and nothing useful comes up. Or if you can give a pointer on what phase to search
Need a video on detailed set up
Change the clocks on your laptops to home country turn off location aswell
Router and Work set up would be great
The router workaround doesn't work because your IT department can track your location from laptop's hardware.
Most laptops don't have GPS chips in them.
HELLO can you tell me will the router work on issued equipment from different companies? Or only on your personal
what kind of job lets you work remotely like that?
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
If you don’t need to hide your location from your company then you wouldn’t need this setup. If you do then you need 2 routers so the one with you overseas etc. can connect to the one back at home to make it look like you are still working in your original residence. There are 3rd party VPNs you can use for select cities but some IT departments can identity those IP addresses are from a vpn. Wireguard client/home server connection shows a an original ip address in the area of where you live so you company is none the wiser where you are in the world.
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
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
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
0:06 his boss watching this be like: 🤫🧏♂️
hey i need your help setting up my station, how can we get in touch?
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.
Great video, can you do a video explaining how to setup the two Routers
what if the job requires you to use THEIR OWN VPN? can this method still work?
I guess you daisy chain two VPNs 😂
Hey buddy, Pls do a vid on the set up, thanks !
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
Hello can you tag the video in which you show work set up and how to set up yout home and travel router?
Are you available for connect for advice? Bought the 2 items you recommended (Flint 2 Home Router and
Slate Travel Router) and am trying to figure out how to set these up and all the right steps to take.
Can you show me exactly how to setup this complete system so I move to another country to work
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 🙄😅
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.
Can you make videos on how to do the set up with the routers and your set up
Can you do a tutorial of the whole vpn and router set up a
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?
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?
Could all this be bypassed with a VPN? Nord, Express ect?
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.
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?
So this setup only works if you use a US home base correct?
It works for any country.
Will you record a step by step for setup?
Thanks for this so much this helped
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)?
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?
Did you make that tutorial video?
I haven't seen him post one, but I found one from another person named Kamz on UA-cam. Just search "work from home while abroad" and he's like the 6th one down.
It was pretty simple to follow and got mine setup! But I wonder what happened to Tech Bruv though, why didn't he post the tutorial?
What about work phones. How can you contact your employers without getting caught being over seas?
The first thing you need to do, is bring food from home with you, so the router will think you are still at home
Did you ever make the how to video? I can't find it anywhere
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?
So what resources and job boards should I be using to find a remote job?
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?
Do you offer this as a service I need help ASAP I have both routers
but how you deal with the issue of having a local sim? Boss is calling on your phone or writing you a text

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?
zscaler?
Summay: how to work remotely?. basically get a remote job. 😂
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
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.
Some only want their data staying within the U.S. If you work remotely overseas and don’t have this setup then you are using servers of the country you traveled to and that could be problematic.
How can I contact you for assistance?
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.
I need help in setting this up. Anyone able to assist?
What jobs can I apply for ?
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
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
Bro you should add the link to you other video so its easy to find it
which video?
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.
it only becomes a tax issue for you as the employee when you've been inside another country for a certain number of days per year, and those rules varies by country. Otherwise, millions of people globally are considered illegally working remotely when they travel, answer work emails on vacation, etc. Several countries have tax treaties with each other, eliminating tax headaches and double taxation for the worker.
It depends on the country and the source of income. In some countries, if your income is earned abroad and you are not a citizen, your foreign income is not taxed. In other countries your viewpoint is correct.
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
yeaaaa boiiiiiiiii Tim Ferris the goat. Get it my G
Do you offer this as a service I need help ASAP I have both routers
Easy to do. Took me about 10 minutes. I have my phone connected via vpn to my router at home. Any city i travel to when i run a speed test always hits the server my home router uses just like i was in my living room running the same test.
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
Brother pls how can I have your contact need to discuss this with you
Are you still having a problem connecting to the VPN?
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? 🤣
