Working abroad while employer requires US-based network access

To avoid detection, you must move the VPN off your laptop and onto a dedicated hardware device. This creates a "black box" environment: your work laptop simply thinks it is plugged into a standard router at home, unaware that the router is actually tunneling data across the globe.Here is the step-by

For hotels, do y’all bring your own devices from home, or setup Plex, etc. on the hotel room TV?

I carry a 4k Roku and my own wifi router/repeater, GL.iNET. Feel like a dork but plug and play and it works. All traffic goes through VPN. Don't have to connect to any network new networks except on the travel router.

GLInet killer?

No. There is some overlap, but the main purpose of this is as a bridge into other UniFi networks on the go. For the average user it may be little different from the GLiNet, but for advanced users it's lack of customization is a huge gap. The fact that the GL series devices are just openwrt underneat

Travel in style. UniFi Style.

GL.iNet also gives you full access to the machine. SSH and can install arbitrary firmware. I'm doubtful the travel router is going to offer SSH access...

It's so tiny -- part 2

If I may ask… where you do see your DNS requests going? I set mine up today and I was expecting them to go through my gateway (like my phone/laptop when they’re connected directly through Teleport) but it seems like all DNS goes through the upstream of whatever network the UTR is on. As a result, I

Is there a device I can connect to USB port of my (ISP provided) router, to have an exit node at home to connect to when I'm traveling?

Gl-iNet make travel routers that can run Tailscale. They're easier to setup than a Pi. (I've done both). Plug it into your network and enable subnet routing in Tailscale EDIT And exit node

which of the following is safe to do over public wi-fi?

It all depends on your risk profile. If you're just some pleb and are on no-one's radar, then you're fine to do those things just using public wifi. Just try and use a reputable one. For example, use a University or Library wifi.Dont go to some back street shop with dodgy looking unibrow muscle sitt

What’s everyone using for 4g backup?

Since it is a rare event, I have just setup my GL.INET travel router to connect to my 5g mobile phone via tethering, and to serve that up to its LAN port as a DHCP connection. Then I have just setup fallover on my router (actually a OPNSense but same principal) and plugged the LAN port of the travel

Renting apartment with shared wifi. How to secure?

GL-iNet travel routers are exactly for this. I connect it to the hotel and all my stuff has a private subnetwork now. They can cross talk and I even set the router to immediately VPN to my house, so everything thinks it's still in my home country, on my home network. Plex in Dubai (where it's blocke

UniFi Travel router now in stock

Most people don't need this device. But for those of us that have traveled with a larger GL.iNet travel router for years, this one will be an instant buy. And I am completely fine that it doesn't have an eSIM or battery - in fact, I prefer it that way. The point of this type of device is to secure y
