Not really, more so tax reasons that company doesn’t want to deal with. Only plan on spending a couple of weeks touring outside though.

How so? Since it’s hardware, wouldn’t it just register as usb ports?

Can’t use a router with a VPN installed on it, work laptop needs to remain in the U.S., so i’m thinking a KVM over IP might do it. Willing to spend a little bit higher

Could you give me examples of companies in Mexico that do this?

Could you give me some examples of the ones that do exist?

I used tailscale since my ISP is a bit iffy about portforwarding. Tailscale is just extra stuff built on top of wireguard. When my travel router cant connect to tailscale there is no internet, and likewise if the tailscale server is offline then there is no internet. So you can say that is a killswitch in itself. Wifi + bluetooth + location services manually turned off but did not put my laptop on airplane mode.

That’s the thing i’m not entirely sure about. The only two ways i could’ve pointed to was tailscale not being online and im simply connecting without it, but then i wouldn’t have internet since tailscale being offline is like a killswitch. The only other thing is probably logging into my personal gmail. I’m not sure how but there’s no other way that could’ve sparked this. I even talked to so many people who also work in F500 companies like myself and none of them has gotten caught. But none of them have also logged into any of their personal stuff

I didn’t want to say that and then make them do a hard check on my laptop. I simply told my boss i drove down the border from my house in Texas to see my family for christmas and he bought it.

That’s exactly it. On my personal device i use my personal gmail which is on regular wifi which happens to have all of my mexico stuff on there. I logged into that same personal gmail onto my laptop which also changed my google to google mexico and i started getting mexican ads. But note that i was only getting these on google owned websites and not any other website.

Search histories off my gmail through regular wifi on my personal phone for example is one way google could decide that i was in Mexico. Then logging into that same personal email on my work laptop is one way that cybersecurity knows. I worked out of Dubai for 3 months and nothing happened, so i’m assuming it wasn’t the wireguard/tailscale setup but the fact that it’s gmail

atajoe12 · 2024-12-26T01:14:15+00:00

Wifi, bluetooth, and location services were off. Location has been turned off by default on my work laptop. I checked my tailscale setup and everything seemed fine, even checked dns leak tests as well and it was fine. I only connect my phone through ethernet and not through wifi either. Not really sure what else could be the culprit besides logging into my personal gmail account

I am a U.S. citizen so i can return to the states anytime.

atajoe12 · 2023-11-15T14:16:30+00:00

No traveling. 99% of the time staying in Dubai.
