I never plug my VPN client router (also a Beryl AX) into my current location's router. I always: connect my Beryl to local WIFI, verify it's working, connect work laptop to Beryl via Ethernet.

This is the safest and most convenient route 99% of the time

Connecting the client on the same network as your server runs on? That would probably be your problem.

I almost always say I work for a big company that lets me work in Europe; but I'm taking most of the time I'm here off.

There are no current digital nomad visas that allows you to travel freely around the Schengen zone. You get to live in the country for which you have a visa, not any EU country. You abide by the same 90/180 rules as most other Schengen visitors.

You lost the "freely travel the EU" lottery the second your presumably non-EU dad spunked into your presumably non-EU mother. Your only solution for what you want is to become a naturalized EU citizen.

Looking into r/churning. Get all of the sign up bonuses you can. I'd highly recommend US Bank Altitude Reserve. $500 back for $2000 spend + 4 lounge passes + extras. I've done it and just got my girlfriend to do it too. Start there.

What places are you going? What are the odds they have >65mbps speeds? In my experience, most airBNBs and hostels will not. If you're mostly going to be using co-working spaces or places with guaranteed high speeds, I say worth it. I'll also note the Beryl AX can theoretically get 300mbps with Wireguard.

  • What network(WiFi etc) are you trying to connect the client to?
  • Is it connecting to the network but not the VPN or neither?
  • did your IP change?
  • have you tried connecting using Wireguard App?

No DN visas let you freely travel across Schengen. They let you stay and work in that country. 90/180 still counts for other Schengen countries.

My laptop is locked to location services = on. I hard wire into my router with WIFI and Bluetooth turned off. Never had an issue and I semi-regularly review my logins, all of which report my "work location."
