Hello,
I have read most threads about trying what I want to do, but I want to clarify a few things.
• I am fairly up on IT terms and processes, but by no means a expert
• I am allowed to work from home and classified as remote. I spend ~3 months in my sprinter the last few years in states working successfully
• My role is only as a PM for an engineering company and need to access mainly MS Office and Teams meetings through company enterprise exchange server
• I also have to get on Sharepoint to get files.
• We have a cisco VPN I have to get on sometimes to get on to gain access some apps from corporate
• I like to use my phone to look at emails and Teams meetings. I also use it for MFA for work laptop
• I usually have to MFA 1 to 2 times a day
• I was told to let IT know I was going to Mexico and they would put me on “requisite access group” to work while there (not sure if that meant unlocking a port)
• I own my on phone and company provides PC
I went to Mexico on vacation 2 weeks ago. Before I went, I let my company IT know I was going so I could work from there. They acknowledged and said I was good to go.
When I first got there it did not work. I had to text my boss to get them to put me back on the list. They said they had “accidentally” taken me off the list. They put me back on and everything works great.
I want to try and go there next year and work from my sprinter for ~2 months. I would get Starlink for access.
I could either come clean and ask to get on exception list or could do some of the things I have read here like https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/4/interface_guide/tailscale/
What confuses is when I was in Mexico and they put me on list PC worked great and phone. Sounds like it is not a port. Sounds like it is my company name or email?
I might get permission to work for a few weeks maybe a month but it would be letting the cat of the bag so I Wanted to get educated to see if I could do it another way.
I have read most other threads and I have not seen my exact situation. Most have to already use a VPN and have security jobs. I don’t.
Travel router method looks doable. I could leave a my WIFI up at home and follow directions. I am not sure what that does for my phone down there as I have read is I would want to use a ethernet connection from PC to travel router and turn off all wifi. I Also read to not use phone as wifi will give away location just for MFA
Thanks in advance
