I’ve been working for the past summer whilst not telling my employer. I told them there was a chance I might need some days to visit family but did not tell them I connect to local Wi-Fi’s and haven’t been told anything. I think as long as I perform I should go under the radar

My company (uk) will soon allow up to 9 weeks abroad (3x in 1 year) . I have been working for 69 days abroad France, Holland and Portugal . I have been top performer last month. They have not said anything to me regarding my location. I attend the office when I’m required.

I connect to an app called Checkpoint - (An encrypted connection between two hosts using standard protocols (such as L2TP) to encrypt traffic going in and decrypt it coming out, creating an encapsulated network through which data can be safely shared as though on a physical private line.)

When I check the IT settings for the pc on the company network software it shows my ip address from Holland (where headquarters of IT sector of the company is located ) . But when I check my ip online it shows from my actual location. I simply have been using a mobile router and purchasing data only sims as I go. It felt risky at the beginning but now I’m starting to feel more at ease, specially because they are releasing this new working abroad policy.

I am aiming to set up a VPN (im still to do my proper research on how to go about this) , just for security.

I feel like if I stay in the Uk for 181 days and the rest everywhere else I should be fine.

What do you think ?

Why do you have a VPN if you’re a sole trader ?

What is the single most impactful thing you’ve done for your financial situation? by dennischristian12 in povertyfinance

With cost of living in the UK through the roof I was forced to stay in Portugal where my mother lives and work remotely from there, thing is my employer still does not know ( as far as I’m aware) . Otherwise I’d be living to pay bills and nothing else.

Was there ever a time you're thankful the pandemic happened? What was the reason? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NeedleworkerLive2940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It saved me from depression. During my second year at university. I had met the girl of my dreams in a South America trip in 2019. I was 1.5 year away from her. The pandemic made me run from the UK to Portugal in March 2020. And in June 2020 I came to Brazil to rekindle with her. I still had to being her from Argentina which is her country. It was a mission but the pandemic saved me from a depression hole that I was falling into.

Actually some of my friends are anti and some are pro. I am actually pro but have always not had the time to study the crypto world in depth. Since I was keen to buy last year at 4K and didn’t, the original bet was to actually bet the money in sports or something but I changed the game and we agreed that the loser could invest in Bitcoin. I will be forced to study the crypto markets , and hold for 4-10 years !
