I’m looking into whether I can slow travel SEA w/ my current remote job. My boss is fine with it, but we have this 3rd party HR software/site that we use to clock in/out, and I can’t clock in/out unless I’m on my home wifi. I’m locked into my IP address! Everything else works fine to do my actual work, just not the time punches. My boss is ok with me setting up a VPN, but it sounds like I’ll need one with a static IP address? Then I can give my Manager that IP address, and I’d always connect to that address if that’s possible. I work on my own personal MacBook btw, and all work is web based or gmail.

First, am I understanding all that correctly or does anything sound off? Networking is not my strong suite, obviously lol

Any recommendations for a VPN with that capability and suited for travel? Do I need more than that, like a VPS set up like others have with a GL.iNet router? I sure hope not because I doubt any hotels/serviced apt’s I’d be in would have access to their router. This is one of the last things I’ll need to figure out to make it all possible! Getting sooo close!! 😊 Thank you!

Get surfshark VPN, works fine for me. Or you can setup your home PC for remote control and just clock-in and out from that.
