Hey so basically I have a works laptop that I must use however, I'm going to Croatia to be with my partner for a month and was going to take the laptop with me to continue working. It's forbidden for us to leave the UK and honestly I'm a massive noob when it comes to this stuff. There's a vpn on the laptop but we can't download anything or change any settings. I've bought a vpn router but I don't know how to configure it. It's a GL.iNet GL-MT1300 Beryl and I have Nord Vpn already. Can someone write (FOR DUMMIES PLS) how to set this up and how I should go about this when I leave on sunday to croatia with the laptop? I would really appreciate this so much, I can't afford to get sacked but I need to see my partner. If anyone can help me, I'd be eternally grateful <3

Beyond the technical aspects, consider whether carrying the laptop is necessary. Even with a secure VPN, there are situations where its presence could be discovered—such as theft or accidental network connections. Personally, the risks outweigh the benefits. Would you rely on it for work while traveling?

Sure, you'll definitely want that laptop since you can't log in without it.

If it’s prohibited… we have no choice. There are factors beyond simply using a VPN that might prevent you from traveling with certain devices. Keep in mind, a company-issued laptop belongs to the employer, and violating their policies can lead to legal consequences, data exposure, or violations of terms of service. Even if a VPN is installed, it doesn’t guarantee internet security if the organization still blocks access. There must be additional reasons behind this restriction.
