Here is a VPN.
Here is a VPN.
Hi, I will go on a trip to South America in a few days for surgery right now. I am currently working as a CSR in Miami. I need to know if there is a way to fake my location with a VPN so that I can keep working while they don't find out where I am. My treatment involves two surgeries: the first one happens soon, and the second final one will be six months later. For now, I won't have any money coming in, and debt will grow if I stop working or lose this job. So far, I found something about a hardware VPN, but I don't know if it is reliable enough to hide my location. If it stops showing where I am at some point, that would be bad. If someone can help me learn what to do or guide me through the process, that would save me a lot of trouble. Thank you for reading this and God bless
It depends on whether they actually care or just pretend they don't know what you're doing. Most often, this happens so they can say you told them not to do it and then blame you for all the legal problems. They can pretty easily tell if you are using a VPN unless they really want to get into your business. For example, Netflix knows when you use a VPN service. So the way that is almost impossible to spot is if you take your main PC out of your house and then use something like TeamViewer. Everything actually happens on your PC at home, but you're using a "really" long keyboard and mouse cable or monitor connection. This doesn't work if you need to do a video call. The other way around this is to put a router that supports VPN in your...
You should check with your manager if they allow you to work from another place.
They want you to stay in one place just so they can collect taxes. They don't even care that people from New York pay more, and other countries are worse off too. So now it's between paying a big $80k here or making up about half of it for a few months at a lower rate. Thanks for your time and thoughts on this.
It depends if they care or pretend not to know that you are doing it. Mostly, this helps them say they told you not to do it so all the legal issues fall on you. They can easily spot if you use a VPN service if they really want to. For example, Netflix knows when you use those tools. The way to hide it almost completely is if you leave your main PC at home and then use something like TeamViewer. Everything still happens from that PC in your house, but you are using a really long keyboard, mouse, or monitor cable. This of course doesn't work for video conferences.
Another option is putting a router with VPN support at home. Then, you can connect to your house from anywhere and all the traffic will look like it comes from there. The real problem is the extra delay because the signal has to travel from your remote location back to your house before reaching the company. This slows things down for video calls or apps that care about speed. You could blame your slow WiFi in the house, but that depends on if they really believe you are doing that. I think this kind of thing is often just rules written by lawyers. As long as you stay quiet about using it, the company won't really look hard to find you. It's even harder for a government to tax you, but you need to be careful who you talk to about this setup.
So maybe I shouldn't take that risk. If a site-to-site VPN works fine, then blaming my internet provider for bad lag is another choice. But if I blame the connection speed, they might be able to tell me why it's slow. Thanks again! That would help me get an answer back to you.
