How Do I Work Remotely From Another Country

- Опубликовано: 14 янв 2024
- Hey everyone today I thought I start the new Year on my channel by talking about the Site to Site VPN process, the equipment you need, how it works and how you can get in touch with me to set this up. This is the best way to work remotely abroad without your employer knowing as you don’t have to install any software on your company computer and you can work abroad almost virtually undetected. I’ve used this technique for 3 years now and I’ve even worked for two companies at once, companies that work with HIPPA data, government laptops and startups and it’s been a breeze since then. If you’re trying to work abroad and not tell your company, boss or IT department and work in stealth, this is the safest option for 100% remote workers to stay abroad undetected.

I recently had the pleasure of crossing paths with Rocky in this youtube channel and yes is was a pleasure to work with. He shares the same entrepreneurial spirit that guides most of us that end up here look for that freedom so much desired. So if you are on the fence … I get you. let me share with you , not only did he simplify the complexities of port forwarding but also ensured a smooth and hassle free configuration. Please reach out to him and after going back and forth you will know he is really here to help you. Remember it's not the price it’s the VALUE!!! Thanks again Rocky.
It was great meeting and connecting with you and I’m happy that I was able to set up your routers brother. I really do hope I get the esteemed chance to meet you in person during your stay in South America. Tchau irmão e um grande abraço 🙏🏾
@@RockyinReelTime I will be reaching out to you as I am in dire need of your help. This is the second time i am coming across your channel and I believe that is for a reason.
@@RockyinReelTime I completed the contact form on your website and also tried to join the waitlist but it is saying "The form was unable to submit. Please contact the site administrator." How can i get in contact with you?
Thanks for the information! Big fan of the channel.

This is exactly what I've been looking for
I love your channel bro. I’m from NY and lived in SSA/always visit. I think your content is really inspiring me to dip from Babylon for good. If you don’t know who the late Yusef Wateef was,you’re like his second coming. Keep up the good work fam.
Wow I’m honored for the compliment and yes I definitely know who he is. He inspired me in many ways, thanks for the support 🙏🏾
@oddvillainnetw I just learned about Yusef, his channel was dope 🙏🏾

The best !! i will reach out to you once I’m ready for the set uo bro ! Subscribed too !
Thanks for watching ! 🙏🏿
Great Video! Thanks so much for the info!!
Thanks for watching !
Hey Rocky booked a consultation with you for may 10 and sent you and email yesterday looking forward to getting set up with you
Please check your email
How did your consultation go, Scared?
Great video I’ll defo be hitting you up soon 👍🏽
Thanks a lot! I try to make these informative and please send me a message when you're ready at rocky@rirtmedia.com
Hey Rocky, what a brilliant video! You have a real gift for explaining a pretty complicated topic in such simple terms. I will definitely book a consultation for the set up. One quick question though. I am going to buy the recommend set up but unfortunately it won’t arrive by the time I leave for Spain where I intend to live. Is it possible for someone to set up the home server in my home house and for me to set up the travel router in Spain or does it all need to be done together? Thanks again for your help!
I only have to wonder since you are putting out this video which can be seen by employers, do you still work for an employer or for yourself?
Great video! Would this work for more than one person? For example a couple moving to Argentina would this setup work or would we need two travel routers like the MT3000 you mentioned?
These routers can have several devices connected to them, one will be fine between the two of you
Informative as always. What would be your suggestions on lowering latency as much as possible?
You have to make sure your upload speed in the states is as fast as it can get. The higher the upload speed on the states side, the higher your download speed is abroad
You the goat fam
Thank you 🙏🏿
Hi! This was so helpful and informative! Both my husband and I work remotely and will be moving soon. Is it possible to have two computers in two separate rooms connect to the same beryl router or would one of us need to use the hotspot and the other connect directly to the beryl? Thanks so much!!
Yes you can have several devices connected to one router, you don't have to setup two travel routers. For this situation, I recommend using the AXT-1800 Slate AX as your travel router along with the Flint. Reach out to me when you're ready to get setup by sending me an email at rocky@rirtmedia.com
Awesome video man,
Can we connect the Flint to ISP Provider's Router via wifi? I might not have the option to connect it via a cable. Would it work?
I don't mind speed to be a bit slower.
Why would you not have the option to connect via cable ? If all the Ethernet ports are in use, you can always get an Ethernet splitter or if its a distance issue, you can get a 30 ft flat CAT6 Ethernet cable
Hi there, thanks for sharing such great knowledge! I,ve just gotten a full time remote job and will require your assistance. I want to book a consultation with you. But before I do so and from a timing perspective on setting up et al, can you recommend what hardwares/vpn that I need to order before our meeting? I start work in 2 weeks!
Hey! Sure I’d be able to help you. Please reach out to me at rocky@rirtmedia.com
Hello,
My Issue is that i work with VoIP so i have to Make calls as sales and the question is How good will be my internet with elan cable either?
Regards
Thank you bro for the video! Definitely gonna reach out when I’m ready to dip😂🤣
Please do lol! and you're welcome
Question, I’ve got a new job opportunity. 95% remote with little presence in the US. Anything in person would be planned weeks ahead. Since I have dual citizenship (Panama) I’m thinking it’s a great opportunity to move back to Panama and save money even though they require you to be in the US (location hidden by site to site VPN).
BUT, I’m torn between that and Mexico. MX seems like an option because of the simple residency requirements. And MX offers ease of access to US if they did need me to travel back to the states and it’s cheaper than Panama. Thoughts?
Hey, thank you for your video!! Amazing!!
Can I use the Solis as a portable router to pair with the GL.iNet GL-AX1800 Flint?
On the same topic, can I use any portable router with the GL.iNet GL-AX1800 Flint?
You can’t use the Solis with the flint because the Solis is a hotspot and not a travel router and you can use other routers with the flint however it’s much much easier to use two GL.iNet routers together versus mixing and matching two different brands
Salute‼
Great video, very informative. I have a question if Nord VPN would work with a dedicated IP address?
My friend, thank you for doing these great videos. Besides my home router/server, how many travel routers do I need if I want to establish this connection for when I am abroad and want to keep my home IP adddress? Thank you.
Besides the router you keep at home, you only need one. I just have multiple because they're awesome and I love these devices lol
Thank you for your prompt answer! Be blessed.
My issue is that certain countries in which my company does not have business in, access to outlook for example, is blocked. Will using the router and connecting it to the VPN be able to bypass that? Or would I have to do the entire home set up as well, I don’t trust that if I leave it home it’ll be untouched.
There’s a work around for bypassing VPN blocks in certain countries. You can certainly use a VPN connection with the router but it’s better for personal use and not working abroad. The two router setup is the safest if you want to work abroad and go virtually undetected. I suggest finding a trusted family or friend that won’t touch the Flint
Great video, but where do you get static IP residential customers for reasonable price. I called Verizon, they didn't even provide static ip for residential customers. Like to hear back your thoughts on this. Thanks!
Thanks so much. This one setup can be used for multiple devices, correct? For instance, mobile phone, a personal laptop, and your business computer.
Yes you can have multiple devices connected to this. While you’re abroad however, you’re limited to the upload speed you have at home. Your download speed abroad is what your upload speed is at home. So if you want more devices or a lot, then make sure to have very fast upload speed at home. I recommend at least 150Mbps if you want to have 7+ devices connected to it but if you want just 2-3 maybe 4, 35-50Mbps of upload speed should be fine
@@RockyinReelTime ❤
Hi @rocky, thanks for your video! Question: are there any advantages using setup you showed versus having GL.iNet GL-MT3000 router with Nord VPN and dedicated IP installed on the router? Your answer is much appreciated!
Depending on your company’s security policies they’ll still see that your using an VPN because when they look at the info regarding your connection, your ISP won’t be a consumer ISP, but some other company that’s known for providing servers or services to VPN companies. A GL.iNet router + Nord is good for personal use but not for work. Just get two GL.iNet routers and create a Site to Site VPN connection
Can I connect the flint to the office Ethernet cable and appear as if I am working from the office while I am working from home?
Thanks a lot for the all the info.
is there any other budget friendly home router we can use?(the router that Wi-fi internet router to connect at home and stays at home)?
What’s your budget ? Most routers that are used as servers like in this video are around $100
Great video. What happens when your home IP address changes? As you may know, most providers assign IP dynamically. Or does this particular router have a DNS gateway that manages its setting to enable the travel router alway connect using the assigned name?
You can setup a Dynamic DNS or just request a static IP address from your ISP
@@RockyinReelTime Thanks for the info. Static IP addr. is not cheap. How and where do you setup the dynamic DNS? Is that a service that comes with the device and supported by the vendor?
@@samuelagaga4348 I'm not sure what country you're in but most of my viewers are from the US. As far as the US is concerned, you can get a static IP for $5-$15 a month. It all depends on the ISP you are using, some may charge more than that range. I can have your routers setup with max security if you want. There. are other things you need to handle along with Dynamic DNS, for instance remote access to allow you to have access to your Flint while abroad in case you need to troubleshoot. It would be long to explain here. Please reach out to me at rocky@rirtmedia.com
Thanks for making this informative video. Would this approach also allow me to connect to my company's VPN after I'm connected to my VPN tunnel?
Yes it will !
Great Video! I went to check my internet speed. It looks like the scale is out of 100. Can you expand on the recommendations at 2:18 in the video?
Basically the upload speed of the ISP router(your Verizon, Spectrum, At&T etc) to which the server is connected is crucial in a Site-to-Site VPN setup with two GL.iNet routers because it determines the maximum speed at which data can be sent from the server(the Flint w/ 4 antennas) to the remote site (the Beryl that you take with you). This is important for ensuring efficient and smooth communication between sites, especially for applications that require real-time data transmission or large file transfers. A higher upload speed will significantly enhance your performance, reduce latency, and improve the overall user experience by allowing quicker access to resources hosted at the server's site. Conversely, a lower upload speed can become a bottleneck, limiting the effectiveness of the VPN connection and potentially causing delays or disruptions in data flow between the two sites. Usually to work abroad I found that most people that are just sending emails, reporting, Excel, coding, streaming RUclips videos and video calls on Zoom and Teams are good with an upload speed of a bare minimum of 30Mbps. Thus faster upload speed at home (where Flint is connected)= faster download speed abroad (where you use travel routers)
With 30mbps with the IPS, would this cause issues with latency with VOIP calls? I work at a call centre type of job and we use voip. I’m concerned about the latency. Thanks for your content.
I wanted to seek your advice on whether it's best to set up the router before my departure or wait until you arrive
It's best to do this before you go, if you need help with setting up, send me an email rocky@rirtmedia.com
if airbnb/condo doesn't have Airbnb/Condo router is not accessible to you, what's the alternative ? For ex.. My airbnb has wifi, but the router is not accessible for us to plug in our travelRouter in.
You can log into the dashboard of the router and select Wi-Fi repeater and use the Wi-Fi. Ethernet it faster but it’s totally possible to connect via Wi-Fi
So basically I could just use the small travel router,the Ethernet cord and the simo solis portable hotspot and work in another country without being detected?
Or would I still need a router that stays at home ?
You need a router at your home as well because if you use a regular VPN on the travel router, your employer will be able to know that you are using a VPNserver but if you use a router at your home as a VPN server then your employer will think that you are connected to your home network while you’re working
Hey Rocky ! Thanks for the explanation on the connection to the US IP address So I just bought a new combo wifi router/cable modem for my Xfinity internet service here at home in ATL Will the GL.iNet GL-AX1800 Flint work with this? Also I already have a a Might Wifi hotspot.
The AX1800 will work with Xfinity in Georgia. You need the Xfinity app to change some router settings and a travel router that will talk the the AX1800 while you’re abroad. If you need help setting this up, please reach out to me at rocky@rirtmedia.com
Thanks for the@@RockyinReelTime Was on the verge of scheduling a consultation last week The way my work laptop is set up, I have to first log in to Cisco any connect, from there I then have to use remote desktop to access Cloud PC . Is this going to work? Equipment purchase and consultation request pending the answer to this question.
Hi Rocky. Do you do consultations? I have most of the setup done but I still have some doubts. Please let me know your rates! thank you!
Please send a message to rocky@rirtmedia.com or go to contact page at rirtmedia.com/contact/
This is a great solution, thanks for the instructions!
One question: how are people dealing with company phones? Is there a way to keep your company phone at home and have it forward calls/texts to your other phone while you're abroad? Also, if you need to make calls/texts, how do you use your "abroad phone" to make it seem like your home phone is sending them? Thanks in advance!
Hi Basam! To answer your question, I tell clients with company phones to keep it on airlplane mode and only turn on Wi-Fi and remain connected to the travel router if they need to take it on a trip. Also If you have an iPhone as your company phone as well as personal, you can sign into your iCloud account on your company phone, adjust call settings to forward a call from phone 1 to 2 and when you receive a call on your company phone, it'll be forwarded to your personal. So you can theoretically leave your company phone at home while taking your personal. I believe the newer iOS updates allow for this.
Thanks Rocky. It seems safer to keep the company phone at your home country instead of taking it with you and keeping it on airplane mode. If it's on airplane mode, texts and calls would not be possible unless you are roaming then you would have to explain to your manager why you were charged a million dollars in roaming fees 😂. Need to research the "leave at home" option more. Thanks!
This is awesome. I didn’t know about this. I only knew of VPNs. My company had its own VPN…and when I’d visit an IP address finder, it wouldn’t display my ip address nor my Internet provider… 🤔 it was blank. My company also had an offshore team in India 🤔
Hey! Most likely, your company's VPN might provide a high level of anonymity, not even allowing IP address finder websites to detect the VPN's IP address. Also advanced VPN configurations can block scripts or requests that try to detect your IP address. When you use the solution I speak of in the video though, you don't have to download any software and you can use your own IP address by using the routers to rerout the request. Thus it appears as if you're working from home. Just don't ever use your work computer to connect to a network while abroad, always make sure to connect yo your router while traveling or in another country.
@@RockyinReelTime thanks again bro. I’m gonna get one of these
@@fiftyseventh Okay when you do let me know so I can help set it up 🙏🏾
Hello, Iam now at that Point Where i want to Go to Bali and my company has a vpn and i should work from Germany. My work laptop is connected to „globalprotect“
Can you help me to set up everything and i have to Make Voice over IP (sales calls)
So the Internet has to be fast enough 🙏
what would happen if the flint (home router) experience a power outage, would it reconnect automatically or is that some thing you have to setup
It would just reconnect automatically after the outage is over. Nothing really to worry about too much, you would just not be able to access your home network during that time to use your home IP address
Thank you for the video! I've seen a few other videos similar to yours, and though yours is almost 19 minutes long, my gut instinct told me that you're speaking honestly, I can trust you, and you're authentic. That's the big green flag for me, so thanks!
Question: I've seen videos of the setup process, and I know it's a "set it and forget it" process. My question is do you have to leave the computer connected, as well? Or once it's programmed, the computer is no longer needed?
I will definitely be trying this out. I have a house that's being rented out, and I trust the tenant to not mess with this after I've set it up. I plan to get a regular remote call center job because I have WFH phone experience already, and then try it over a long weekend in Mexico, being that it's the closest, cheapest place to test things out. And if it doesn't work, I'll just call out sick, and go home.
I really do appreciate the video and am going to check out some other of your videos. You probably have a sub.
Hey thanks for watching ! Whenever you're ready I'll be here. I just helped setup a guy who is working in a call center by the way. He's in Morocco now and it's working great!
@@RockyinReelTime Awesome. I'm definitely interested in working with you to set things up once I have the equipment and a timeframe.
I edited my post to ask a question, by the way.
Thanks for the response!
Hi Rocky, thank you for this video it was so informative & helpful! I had a question regarding the hotspot. Does it have to be a Solis? I was given a work phone that we are allowed to use as a hotspot if no WiFi/ internet. What are your thoughts/ opinions? My company headquarters is in OH but I work remote in NC. We can work anywhere in the US/CA just concerned on how to go about if I wanted to go to DR or Mexico
Hey please don’t use your work phone as a hotspot. Get any reputable hotspot, it doesn’t have to be a Solis. That’s just what I’ve been using.
Thank you!
What’s the difference between using just travel router by itself and using travel router connected to the flint?
Thanks in advance
The Flint acts as a server you connect to, thus making this whole setup your own VPN. If you use just the travel router you nee to use OpenVPN and use a 3rd party VPN which is still very detectable because you'd be using Nord's servers for example and many of their IPs are blacklisted because they are known by many commercial firewalls
Hey Rocky, what speeds are you getting through the travel router?
Hey good morning! I have one Flint setup at parents house which connects to my MT1300 and it gets 67Mbps download and 35Mbps upload. The other I have setup at a friends house and that gives my A1300 86Mbps download and 45Mbps upload
Question. My job requires my laptop to be connected to the router via Ethernet. When abroad with this set up, can I also plug an Ethernet cable from the travel router to the laptop?
Hey Rocky! I have one question, I see you are using a MAC as your work laptop? When you do shift to different time zones, does the MAC automatically change it to the new time zone destination?
You can change your location settings in your computer and turn that off if you have admin access assuming you’re speaking about your work laptop. If you can’t and your company has installed monitoring tools on your laptop, they might have the ability to access your location from directly inside the device. So that means even with the site to site VPN even though your traffic appears to be coming from the states, they can use these monitoring tools to see the actual location of the laptop. It’s all a case by case basis as all companies handle security differently. This is just an extra level of protection should you want to work abroad without your company’s knowledge. I always advise to ask first or inquire with HR about the rules surrounding this, but if you’re going to do it anyway get this extra level of protection first.
@@RockyinReelTimeI am ELATED to have come across your channel especially with this video. I'm on a countdown to EXIT and have been feeling defeated regarding remote employment options. I'll for sure have to connect with you for a consultation as soon as I get my basics together.
Hello! Thank you so much for this informative video! I have an URGENT question please, can I use a TP link or D link router instead of GL.iNet GL-AX1800 Flint ? If yes, will it work with GL.iNet GL-MT3000 Beryl AX . Also where can I find your configuration guide?
I sell the guide on my site. But it assumes you’re using GL.iNet routers. May I ask why do you want to go with TP Link, plus you didn’t specify a model number for both brands so it’s impossible for me to answer your question without more context
I’m trying to buy the stereo to stereo guide on setting the site to site using the flint and beryl in your website but I don’t seem to find it
Hey Rocky,
I am a recent subscriber of your's... great content. !!
Q. I am traveling to Salavador this week... do you do consultations... or meet up?
Please let me know.... Thanks.

Hey bro, I think you mentioned you previously worked for the government in one of your videos. I have a gov’t position and there is a VPN installed on the computer we use. Is the port forwarding method full proof to bypass any detection while working abroad? Thanks
Because every govt organization is different and handles their security different, I can't guarantee it'll work for everyone with govt jobs. However it has worked for me and the other clients I have that have remote government positions.
@@RockyinReelTime Ok, thank you brotha. I appreciate the info!
How is this setup different to having a Server running at home (unraid) with WireGuard and just buying the travel router? My Server at home is set up the VPN server, and many more other things and for that reason always turned on.
Thanks for the informative video! Can I connect the Flint router directly to my spectrum modem to use as the main US home router AND to use as my Wireguard server? Or can I only connect the Flint to another US router?
You need the Flint to act as a server that is connected to your home router, so no it's better to connect it to the router Spectrum gives you
@@RockyinReelTime I just tried it today and I'm using the Flint as my main router and wireguard server and it's working for the most part. I can't do port forwarding from my Sectrum router because it has limitations in setup. SO i would need to buy a third router to do it your method. I just want to know if there's an advantage before I buy an extra router.
Also worth noting that although I was able to have my home IP on the travel router, it's conflicting with my work VPN, not sure where to go from there.
@@anisebeirut1475 I setup Spectrum routers all the time, like literally every week. It’s one of the most common Internet providers in the United States. What’s the model of your spectrum router ? You’ve missed a step or likely have done something wrong. It’s also impossible for me to diagnose or know what next step to take through comments but to also answer your other question, you only need to get two routers, a travel router like the Slate AX or Beryl and a Wi-Fi 6 router like the flint (to connect to the Spectrum router). I haven’t encountered a Spectrum router that doesn’t allow you to do port forwarding yet, so yours likely does. Also how are you testing this? If you’re testing at home you’re going to always see your home IP address when connected to the travel router, you must test in a different location or at least use a hotspot. Testing at home will always give you the same IP address and make it look like you’ve configured it correctly.
hot stuff! thanks for the info brother. liked and subscribed! had a question. my office already provides me with a D-Link router and they have a vpn which we need to sign into after logging into the computer. so if I plug the Flint WiFi 6 Router here with my isp modem and while abroad I plug the Office provided router into the Beryl with an ethernet net and sign into the vpn the office provided, that would work in that manner right?
Hi Rocky, please could I confirm whether this would work if my homebase is the UK, and attempting to work abroad.
This works if your home base is in the UK. I have had several past clients from all over the UK and Europe that use Vodafone and Virgin etc
Hey rocky! Thanks for the reply last time but this is the real urgent question. So this remote customer service contractor job like a “live ops/arise” Will this work if our job have us use their app (ON MY PERSONAL COMPUTER BTW) which is a Remote Desktop program called “secure remote worker”. Because it’s their software/app that signs us out of our profile on windows and into another one under their software and they become the administrator. And when I went into setting ….. we can’t even TURN OFF WIFI , BLUETOOTH Or SET TIME ZONE/TIME TO MANUAL. So I don’t think this will work.. what do you think? This won’t work?

@@RockyinReelTime hello, did you receive my email?

Hey please reach out to me via email at Rocky@rirtmedia.com
Hi - at 8:35 you mention that we need to “Plug it in at the ISP router”
Does that mean we should replace the ISP router with the flint (not sure my friend will agree to that), or will it work if u set it up at a Repeater in their house and I connect to the Flint Repeater using the Travel Router?
Thanks!!
That means you plug it into your ISP router. There’s Ethernet ports behind it and that’s where you connect it to, no need to change routers, it’s just a device that stays powered on and connected so it can send requests through the ISP router. Think of it like this, while you have your travel router abroad, you make a network request to let’s say google.com or your company’s resources. Next the request goes to the Flint, which sends it to your ISP router, and it goes out into the world using your friend or family member’s IP address and all the network information of the ISP router it’s connected to, thus making it seem as if you’re still home in the states. I hope that answers your question
@@RockyinReelTime thanks for the explanation! I’m going to receive the equipment on 5 May and will keep you posted 🙏
@@joeythelipz okay thanks send me an email at rocky@rirtmedia.com, I’ll send you a full requirements doc to follow
@@RockyinReelTime so I got the travel router set up today. Using a dedicated IP from Nord instead of the Router Server as I’m already out of the US so can’t set up the Server Router.
Just wondering if you think, when travelling, if it’s better to leave the company laptop at home and VPN into it from personal laptop via the Travel Router, or if it’s ok to bring the Company laptop abroad and use the Travel router on it?
Asking as I’m wondering if there’s a risk the company tracks location on the company laptop via Location Services tracking. Have you ever encountered this?
Can you connect to the travel router wireless or does it need to be connect to computer via ethernet cable ?
You can definitely connect wirelessly. Ethernet is just slightly faster, you can also use a hotspot and Tether via your phone
are you using wireguard tunnel ? Also how are zoom/team calls quality, is there any delay ? @@RockyinReelTime
Hi Rocky I enjoyed your video some said it was a little bit too long but I thought it was right on point I'm a slow learner... Anyways the only question I had is you say plug the travel router in to the router at the Airbnb that you're staying at What if you're staying at a hotel that has Wi-Fi that's open or like it up Starbucks where it's an open Wi-Fi Do you still have to plug your computer into that or will it pick up the Wi-Fi signal. The second comment that I would have is that I wish instead of giving us all these different options you would just say I like this router and it like this and I like this cable it sort of like going to McDonald's and having a number four combo which you believe is the best of the best because I think people that are traveling abroad aren't really caring about $100 one way or another for example I would pick two of the travel modems up just in case one got misplaced damaged or lost I would have a backup because if I'm remote and that modem goes down it may take a week or longer to replace that but if I have it I can keep moving and order another one concurrently so that extra hundred or $200 expense would be worth it to me to have the assurance that I would have eminemity and not have to jump on and log on and take the risk that my system is going to be identified as being out of the country but after reviewing what you said I think I got it and this is a better option than with Norton or one of the other software VPNs
If you're going to work from a hotel or some other public Wi-Fi, you need to log into the router's admin page and select Wi-Fi repeater and log into the Starbucks/hotel Wi-Fi and it'll use that signal to create a secure VPN tunnel with your router in the States and use your home IP. I'm not understanding your second question, the routers I recommend will work for most people's use cases. I recommended the GL-AX1800 as the home server because it can transmit lots of data and fast and it also has Wi-Fi 6, I also recommend the GL-MT3000 or AXT-1800 which are good as the client (the router you take with you). I only gave two options for the travel router to take with you and either one is an excellent choice. Your other question/comment is quite confusing
Rocky, Sorry if my second part of my question was confusing I just took the options that you had suggested and just got the slate AX mobile router but I have two questions The first one is as it relates to the home setup Can it be ran by Wi-Fi as well or do you need to connect by I certainly have the room at home so that's not a problem but it just popped up initially Wi-Fi and it's immediately shows me using that at my computer but if it would be better to use the ethernet I could use that so my question is I don't know the difference between wham and lan or whatever I'm sorry I'm not looking at the back of the box at this moment but which one do you plug the ethernet into and then into the stationary device My second question is when you using the mobile router you take an Ethernet cord from the mobile router and which one do you put it in there again Is it the win or the land and does that it's in that cable go into your computer and it Wi-Fi picks up the signal from the coffee shop or your Airbnb or is that ethernet cord directly to the Airbnb router if it's available or the coffee shop a router if it's available and then it just works off of the Wi-Fi but do you still run an ethernet cable to the mobile device to your actual laptop. Sorry for the long message
I guess what I'm saying if the next video you produce if you could just show not just a devices but how you plug the ethernet cord into each one into which connection in the back of the modem to the modem provided by the internet provider in this case Cox Cable. That would be helpful
Rocky help I need your help😢
Can I get a router with vpn already and use that? I could enable my location to show the state I want then leave it at my friends house then take the travel router with me..would that work?
Well you could get a travel router and use Nord on it. This is more than enough for personal use, however if you're trying to not get caught by your company, then a two router solution works way better.
Hello Rocky, is the router that I install at my home back in the US going to slow down the wifi for the others users at home while I’m working abroad? Thanks
Using a GL.iNet router for a site-to-site VPN setup should not significantly slow down your home Wi-Fi for other users, especially if your internet plan has sufficient bandwidth to support multiple users. However, prioritizing VPN traffic can affect other internet activities, so it’s wise to ensure your home internet speed can accommodate both your VPN needs and regular usage. If needed, adjusting Quality of Service (QoS) settings can help manage bandwidth distribution more effectively. I can do all of this for you, should you need and ensure your speeds abroad are adequate for remote work and the people at home are unaffected.
@@RockyinReelTime thank you Rocky, I’ll be booking a consultation shortly.
Hey man, I work for the state government in the US. We US cisco anyconenct vpn to access the government service. Will this method work for a computer that already has VPN installed on it? Will this VPN installed on the government computer alert them that I am using this method? Thanks! If you answer this question I will connect with you and pay whatever your looking for to get more specific answers. Thanks!
This method will work for you as long as your computer does not give your location to the employer or they don’t have extra measures of security. You can see if you have access to disable the locations on your computer other than that these routers will fix the issue for you. Using this method will make your employer think that you are connected to your regular home network.
I heard that you also need to turn off your laptops wifi and Bluetooth because that will also report your location.
Yes, it all comes to the security measures that your company is following.
The IP address from DDNS domain resolution is not the same as the WAN IP of the device.
You need an Internet Public IP address to use Dynamic DNS.
how did you fix that? did you call your provider? or did you use another method?
Hi to answer your question, to fix the mismatch between your DDNS domain's IP and your device's WAN IP, it's likely because your ISP is using something called Carrier-Grade NAT, which basically means you don't get a direct public IP for your router. A simple workaround is to ask your ISP for a public IP, though they might charge extra for it. If that's not an option, using the VPN features on your GL.iNet routers can help you get around this by creating a secure tunnel between your sites. Just double-check your DDNS settings in your router to make sure everything's up to date.
@@RockyinReelTime Hey there, I reached to my ISP but they do not offered it, so Im setting up the openVPN you mentionned instead. Thank you for hte response.
@@4Qkiller Sure thing!
Nice video, just a question I had in mind. What would happen if say there's a black out due to a big storm in my city while Im away, will my location be exposed if that happens during the job?
If it were in the states then you wouldn't be able to work anyways until the power came back right? Because you're supposed to be there. If you're from St. Louis and there's a major blackout there, you just wouldn't work until the power comes back because that's what would happen if you were physically there.
@@RockyinReelTimeokay better question, your house back home specifically loses power and the router isn’t on anymore because of that. Does that mean automatically your connection will be detected outside of the country?
@@OscarJ-01 You'll just loose a connection and the router won't work because it won't establish a connection through anything until the power is back up at your house in the States. Think of it like this, the entry and exit gateway to all the request you make online is your ISP router at home, the same as if you were home and connected to it. If that is down for whatever reason, abroad you won't be able to transmit request back and forth just like if you were at home and it went down. Your ISP router is the point of failure.
@@RockyinReelTime thanks big bro🙏🏽 took away all my fear with that one
I have a doubt, can you please help me? I have 2 esim - 1 from Belgium other from Portugal. I’m in Portugal rn… when I active the Belgium internet, it shows an ip from Belgium. When I am using my Portuguese SIM card, shows the ip from Portugal… my company is in Portugal and they don’t allow me to work outside of Portugal. This being said, can I go to Belgium and work remotely using my internet from my eSIM Portuguese that shows a Portuguese IP and location? Do you think it works?
Have you done it? How it ends??
Why do we need the other router? to install in your home country or to install in the international country ?
You will basically be using two routers one router will act as a VPN server which you connect to the ISP, and the other travel router will act as a VPN client to which you will connect your laptop.
Do you recommend the Flint 2? It has almost double the speed through the wireguard port. I do have 1GB speed in the states
Definitely get it if you have faster speeds. How much upload speed do you have ?
@@RockyinReelTime in the states I have 570Mps of upload but in South America I only have 100Mps of upload
@@HenryJames-hk7isJust get the Flint 1. If you are using the ATX1800 you will be bottlenecked at 500Mps through wireguard.
@@HenryJames-hk7is What matters in South America is your download speed. In the States your upload speed is really fast and in South America too. You'd be fine if you're just doing work. Now if you've got like 10 tabs of apps with heavy computing operations open, then it might experience some latency but other than that, you'll be fine.
So you have to be able to plug into the Airbnb host router? So this wouldn't work for hostels at all? :( unless you ask to plug into their router?
Sure it will, you can connect via WiFi or tether where you plug it directly to your phone. Ethernet is just the fastest and most reliable connection, plus most people will be working from their Airbnb or hotel. But it could 100% work in a hostel
@@RockyinReelTime Thank you for answering my questions!
So can I just use the router at my parents house as the "home" router? The wifi is really fast.
Thank you but help me brother. I’m based in Ghana but I’m a US citizen so the network i will be using when be in Ghana how do i go about this??
Maybe you can have a friend or family member in the States set it up and send you the travel router. Take a look at this checklist I created to ensure you have what's needed to setup:

I have to connect daily to forticlient vpn on my company computer. I enter a password then my imprvata app on my phone ask me to approve access or deny. Can this still work for my case?
Yes, it'll work in most cases since you're connecting to a physical device before starting the software VPN
Hey bro great video, one question i have ,the company i work for uses Forticlient vpn so we can connect to their remote desktop, is that vpn gonna creat a problem?
A lot of the people I’ve set up for use FortiClient or Cisco and others. No guarantees as every company has different security but it’s worked for 100% of the pst clients using FortiClient

Lets say an attorney working for the state bar (of any state) Would this set up work to make sure the state bar of (fill in the blank) wouldnt see your true location and still see you working in the state they should be?? EVEN IF IT IS ON A LAPTOP PROVIDED BY THAT STATE BAR
I’ve had many clients that work for state agencies. Mostly government contractors or sub contractors and it’s worked for them, I even worked a government contact with this for 1.5 years and it was smooth sailing 😎

Hi rocky…would you say this is the same as the air cove express?
Yes they’re extremely similar but Air Cove comes in at a higher price point and not much difference in terms of tech specs
I ordered the flint and beryl routers from Amazon. I haven’t received them yet but do I need to download anything or configure anything or do I just plug hook it up out of the box and Am good to go?

@@A_Dad okay I’ll send you over a requirement doc
Instead of using a “flint” can I create virtual machine with microsoft azure? Is that the same thing?
Yes you can ! To set up a site-to-site VPN connection using a VM in Microsoft Azure, create and configure the VM with a static public IP, install and set up the VPN server software (like WireGuard), then ensure Azure Network Security Group settings allow VPN traffic. Next you need to configure the GL.iNet travel router as the VPN client with the server's details, and test the VPN connection to ensure proper routing and connectivity. So it’s possible yeah, but you need to be a bit more on the technical side to do this on a cloud dashboard. It’s also achievable with AWS
What about if you have a work computer with a work provided VPN? can you still hook up to a site to site and still use the company VPN?
Yes you can! You're using a physical connection with these routers that leverages your own network, hence you don't need to download any software. It's like connecting to your ISP router at home
Great video! Does this set up cover geo location?
Companies mostly use your IP address for determining your location. Theoretically they can log into your laptop remotely and check your location manually, but this isn’t common, unless they suspected something or have a legit reason to
Hi Rocky, I want to book a consultation. I just have one doubt, you mentioned internet speed is a prerequisite. I have some gamers at home that might mess up the whole latency thing. Can I get a 2nd isp at home just for this purpose, and keep my current isp independent for the rest of the household?
What is your upload and download speed at home right now ?
@RockyinReelTime download speed is 30 mbps and upload speed is 10 mbps. They're both pretty low. Looking at that now I think either way I'd have to upgrade.
I have 2 beryl ax would I be able to set one in the states and bring the other one with me to get the same results as the flint to beryl setup?
I would return one and get the Flint because for a server it's a very capable router. The Beryl AX is best used as a travel router
@@RockyinReelTime Thank you Rocky!
Hey Rocky, thanks for the video! Could I have the home router already in another country, and set up from there, or does the router have to physically be somewhere in the country where I'd have a contract?
The router Flint or the router that stays connected to your ISP router needs to be setup and remain plugged where you have the contract. So if you have Verizon internet in California, it has to be st up and remain plugged in California
@@RockyinReelTime Thanks!! Got it! So I'd have to leave it with that trusted friend.. Would it mess with her normal wifi router in any way? And in case there's an issue with my router at her place how would I know?
@@adrianasoares4801 It wouldn't alter or change any settings with the ISP router at your friend's place. Also the way I set the routers up, I can troubleshoot any issues remotely from anywhere and check the uptime and health status as well. You can also log into the admin dashboard of the routers once you set it up
@@RockyinReelTime Cheers, Rocky. I'll let you know if I get those! 🙌
So I guess this wouldn't work with Starlink given less than a minimum required download/ upload speed.
hello, i booked an appointment with you. im just not sure what time zones your appointments are set. if you can clarify that. thank you
It’s in EST, my assistant will reach out shortly with an email
Hi Rocky. How would this work with a company laptop? Since these laptops dont allow any new software to be installed.
Yeah I'm in that same boat
Yes this would, you're not installing any new software with this, in fact I'll set the routers up with a personal computer. You just have to make sure you meet the requirements necessary with your internet connection, devices, accessories etc. But this doesn't require you to install any software on your company laptop
Hey! I just bought all the stuff! I’m traveling to Argentina in late May and wanted to work remotely from there. I have Google Fiber, do I just connect this flint router to my existing Google Fiber router? Or do I replace it with the flint.

Hi, the flint 1 is not available in my end. What other option is better for a ‘home router’?
Hey can you email me about your exact situation and l’ll let you know what equipment to get from there rocky@rirtmedia.com
@@RockyinReelTime Hi I have sent you a couple of emails without any response. Are you still consulting?
One thing that needs to be mentioned is that your home isp needs to provide a Static IP address.
No you don’t “need” a static IP address, although it may be helpful. In the GL.iNet router settings you simply you just make sure to activate Dynamic DNS. If your job needs to whitelist your IP address for some sort of security purposes then yes, you’ll need a static IP, but if you don’t which is 99% of people I help set up, then Dynamic DNS will do just fine.
So my issue is I have to clock in and it requires to share location to clock in will location be my house or where the computer gps shows
How do you share location ?
The IP address masking seems like the easy part. What about the GPS tracking? Company laptops often have GPS chips in them. While testing this, the laptop still knew where it physically was. You cant turn this setting off because it requires administor password.
Hi, will this solution work if I have a company laptop and I need to connect to the company corporate VPN?
Will they know i’m still using a VPN to mask my IP address? I work for a big tech company so more cautious
Yes it does. Almost all my clients need to sign into a VPN, I have even had people that work for Mark’s company and Jeff’s company as well use my router solution and work like a charm 😉
I am trying to forward my IP address, but it’s not working. After I turn on the travel router, the internet stops working.
Schedule a consultation and I’ll have it up and running in no time. Email me at rocky@rirtmedia.com. It’s impossible to help you from the comments section without seeing what’s going on.
Does this setup work the same if and employer requires your computer/laptop to be hard wired?
Hard wired to your ISP router ?
@@RockyinReelTime I believe so. There's one in mind that wants my laptop or computer connected via hard wire to my Internet source. I guess the router
Is it necessary to do port forwarding inside your ISP configuration and the Flint?
Yes this is a vital step
@@RockyinReelTime can you quickly describe the steps? Pretty much logging into the ISP, picking up the IP address designated for the Flint 2, then using that address into Flint 2 plus the Port number that will be uzed for the slate to port it to? Is that correct?
Is Google fiber a good option internet provider for this set up in Mex from Us?
Yes it is, just make sure to get the plan that has at least 30Mbps of upload speed
I would like this done if I make a consultation appointment can you just access my computer remotely and do it for me and would an hour consultation be enough time?
Hi thanks for reaching out! I usually do remote access over Zoom to configure the routers. It usually takes about 2 hours though not 1. Send me an email at rocky@rirtmedia.com and I'll send you a checklist detailing the requirements to have in order prior to the consultation.
Great video bro. How about your cell phone? How do you allow that to work overseas assuming you have high speed internet but you need your phone to make client calls?
@rockyinreeltime. What internet provider do you recommend in Brazil?
Claro or Tim. You can get 1000Mbps download and 500Mbps upload for about $27 with both
Wow. Thank you!

Is this the appropriate setup if my job doesn’t allow wifi connection to access their vpn or should I just get the travel router by itself?
How do you connect to their VPN?
@@RockyinReelTime It’s installed on the computer. We just took a trip I brought the box and monitor but when I plugged the Ethernet in at the hotel the computer wouldn’t connect and the VPN said manual override no internet connection. The network settings are for only private Ethernet connections and says WiFi disabled contact administrator
@@ebonystarrwilkersonlane943 If you mean you connect to a company provided router via Ethernet and connect that to your ISP router then yeah this will most likely work. I can’t guarantee anything because every company handles their security in different ways, many times using standard industry security practices but tailored to their needs. In this situation, you connect the company router to the travel router and the travel router to your ISP router
Ok thanks. I work for medstar and they provided I guess a square pc and two monitors. That clearly don’t allow me to access wifi from this square of and is preventing the connection to wifi but works perfectly at home when connected to my xfinity router through the Ethernet cord. I’ll try this. Thanks so much
