I recently had the pleasure of crossing paths with Rocky in this youtube channel and yes is was a pleasure to work with. He shares the same entrepreneurial spirit that guides most of us that end up here look for that freedom so much desired. So if you are on the fence … I get you. let me share with you , not only did he simplify the complexities of port forwarding but also ensured a smooth and hassle free configuration. Please reach out to him and after going back and forth you will know he is really here to help you. Remember it's not the price it’s the VALUE!!! Thanks again Rocky.

[@excallibur4574]

why do we need to do this instead of just running the server on some remote machine or using an OpenVPN/WireGuard config provided by a dedicated VPN provider?

[@RockyinReelTime]

Because while using a dedicated VPN provider traffic is still going to look like VPN traffic to a company firewall. You can test this by using an OpenVPN connection and checking your IP stats, you’ll notice in the ISP section will be a B2B company that services large software VPN companies. So this will look strange. In addition to that, while using a software VPN, you’re using shared IP addresses and they’re blacklisted by company firewalls 99.99% of the time. Using your own VPN server, it’ll look like the traffic is coming from the ISP router of your home network

[@excallibur4574]

@ true if you pick the wrong VPN but I just toyed around with mullvad & protonVPN today & most of their servers worked fine for me. you could probably spoof the identity of the server if you host it yourself on AWS/Azure too, they'd just see you're routing traffic through there

[@AnOldSchoolPro]

Do you recommend creating your own vpn or doing port forwarding? I work a customer service call center remote job.

[@RockyinReelTime]

Creating your own site to site VPN network uses port forwarding. For customer service call center type jobs, you’ll usually have a Cisco access point device (or some other brand) of some sort, you then plug this to the travel router while the travel router is plugged to your ISP router abroad

[@RockyinReelTime]

Yes, pretty much everyone I’ve set this up for has a company VPN and it’ll work in most cases

[@uber2k]

Have you tested the differences in speed, when using the travel router wire-to-wire, wire-to-wifi and wifi-to-wifi?

[@RockyinReelTime]

Wire to wire is more stable and slightly faster, almost unnoticeable to the human eye though. The reason I prefer the wired connection is because through Wi-Fi repeater, occasionally it can lose connection and you don’t want your company laptop to try and connect to nearby networks or the actual network you’re using abroad while on the company VPN

[@theoverseasdream3791]

Thank you so much this video was very helpful! I had one quick question regarding the travel router: If I already set up my travel router with NordVPN and I do end up buying the dedicated IP package as well would I need to set it up again? And, if so, do you have a video with the steps to set that up with the dedicated IP? My work uses a a 2FA and its own VPN, would that still work with just the travel router?

[@benmarxxshow]

Thank you for the video! I've seen a few other videos similar to yours, and though yours is almost 19 minutes long, my gut instinct told me that you're speaking honestly, I can trust you, and you're authentic. That's the big green flag for me, so thanks! Question: I've seen videos of the setup process, and I know it's a "set it and forget it" process. My question is do you have to leave the computer connected, as well? Or once it's programmed, the computer is no longer needed? I will definitely be trying this out. I have a house that's being rented out, and I trust the tenant to not mess with this after I've set it up. I plan to get a regular remote call center job because I have WFH phone experience already, and then try it over a long weekend in Mexico, being that it's the closest, cheapest place to test things out. And if it doesn't work, I'll just call out sick, and go home. I really do appreciate the video and am going to check out some other of your videos. You probably have a sub.

You can log into the dashboard of the router and select Wi-Fi repeater and use the Wi-Fi. Ethernet it faster but it’s totally possible to connect via Wi-Fi

[@adreammanifested]

What if your company uses a VPN? Would it not cancel out the VPN you're using and disclose your true location? Some companies use zscaler, cisco, etc for VPN and it's installed as software on the laptop that you have to login and auth. I'm wondering how this setup will work against what you're describing. How will a site to site vpn assist in hiding that person's location?

[@RockyinReelTime]

Hey I'm pretty sure you might have sent me an email already which I replied. If it wasn't you, then I'll explain it here: When you use a personal VPN setup like a site-to-site VPN with routers at home and while traveling, you're creating a secure tunnel from your current location back to your home network. This initial connection masks your true location by making all your internet traffic appear as if it's coming from your home (it also uses hardware not software). However, when you then connect to your company's VPN through software on your laptop, this creates a "nested" VPN connection. Here’s how it works in layers: First Layer (Site-to-Site VPN): This is your personal VPN connection from your travel router back to your home router. It serves as the first layer of encryption and masks your real geographical location by assigning you an IP address from your home network. Second Layer (Company VPN): When you launch your company's VPN software (like Zscaler or Cisco), it creates another secure connection from your laptop to your company's network. This second layer is where your work-related data gets encrypted again, ensuring secure access to your company's resources. So, does one VPN cancel out the other? Not exactly. Instead, they work in tandem: Your site-to-site VPN ensures that your initial internet connection (including initial checks by websites or services) sees you as connecting from your home country or location. This is particularly useful for bypassing geo-restrictions or maintaining a consistent IP address location. Your company VPN then secures the specific traffic between your laptop and your company's resources, irrespective of the underlying internet connection. This layer is focused on securing your work-related activities and doesn't necessarily disclose your true, physical location because the traffic between your device and the company network is encrypted and tunneled. If you have any more questions or need clarification, feel free to book a consultation so that I'll explain in detail or help you set up your routers

[@adreammanifested]

@@RockyinReelTime nah it wasn't me but I definitely appreciate it and I will be reaching out in the near future to get that set up.

And that explanation you gave cleared up a lot of my confusion and answered some of my questions I had. 1 other question I had was, I just ordered 2 Beryl AX. Can the Beryl AX be both the home router or the travel router ?

[@RockyinReelTime]

@@jimmydla I would use the Slate AX AXT1800 or Flint AX1800 for the home router Both are solid, however the Flint and Flint 2 are top notch choices for home Wi-Fi 6 routers because that’s what they’re primarily designed to do.

[@ikarosu579]

Can you explain how to actually establish a connection with the routers? As in how to make one in Columbia connect to the one in the states.

[@fiftyseventh]

This is awesome. I didn’t know about this. I only knew of VPNs. My company had its own VPN…and when I’d visit an IP address finder, it wouldn’t display my ip address nor my Internet provider… 🤔 it was blank. My company also had an offshore team in India 🤔

[@RockyinReelTime]

Hey! Most likely, your company's VPN might provide a high level of anonymity, not even allowing IP address finder websites to detect the VPN's IP address. Also advanced VPN configurations can block scripts or requests that try to detect your IP address. When you use the solution I speak of in the video though, you don't have to download any software and you can use your own IP address by using the routers to rerout the request. Thus it appears as if you're working from home. Just don't ever use your work computer to connect to a network while abroad, always make sure to connect yo your router while traveling or in another country.

[@DLWman0322]

One thing that needs to be mentioned is that your home isp needs to provide a Static IP address.

[@RockyinReelTime]

No you don’t “need” a static IP address, although it may be helpful. In the GL.iNet router settings you simply you just make sure to activate Dynamic DNS. If your job needs to whitelist your IP address for some sort of security purposes then yes, you’ll need a static IP, but if you don’t which is 99% of people I help set up, then Dynamic DNS will do just fine.

Hi @rocky, thanks for your video! Question: are there any advantages using setup you showed versus having GL.iNet GL-MT3000 router with Nord VPN and dedicated IP installed on the router? Your answer is much appreciated!

[@RockyinReelTime]

Depending on your company’s security policies they’ll still see that your using an VPN because when they look at the info regarding your connection, your ISP won’t be a consumer ISP, but some other company that’s known for providing servers or services to VPN companies. A GL.iNet router + Nord is good for personal use but not for work. Just get two GL.iNet routers and create a Site to Site VPN connection

Hello! A few questions I hope you can help with: 1. I just got a WiFi6 Router and I'm trying to figure out how to connect to my ISP-provided modem or router. Do I connect my WiFi6 router to the ISP-provided modem or router? The ISP-provided modem only has one ethernet port, and the router has one internet and 3 ethernet ports. If I use this router, should I remove the ISP-provided router? 2. Also, should I use the LAN or WAN ports on the WiFi6 router? 3. On the travel router, how would I connect the ethernet cables? From the ISP-provided destination modem to the travel router? Or ISP-provided destination router to the travel router? 4. Not sure if you know the answer to this, I connected to the WiFi6 router for the first time, and now every internet webpage says "Internet connection is not secure." How would I be able to fix this issue? 5. Lastly, would it make sense to get a static IP address? I ask since how would you know if a dynamic IP addresss changes when you're traveling? Thank you!!!!

[@carriehood755]

Great Video! I went to check my internet speed. It looks like the scale is out of 100. Can you expand on the recommendations at 2:18 in the video?

[@RockyinReelTime]

Basically the upload speed of the ISP router(your Verizon, Spectrum, At&T etc) to which the server is connected is crucial in a Site-to-Site VPN setup with two GL.iNet routers because it determines the maximum speed at which data can be sent from the server(the Flint w/ 4 antennas) to the remote site (the Beryl that you take with you). This is important for ensuring efficient and smooth communication between sites, especially for applications that require real-time data transmission or large file transfers. A higher upload speed will significantly enhance your performance, reduce latency, and improve the overall user experience by allowing quicker access to resources hosted at the server's site. Conversely, a lower upload speed can become a bottleneck, limiting the effectiveness of the VPN connection and potentially causing delays or disruptions in data flow between the two sites. Usually to work abroad I found that most people that are just sending emails, reporting, Excel, coding, streaming KZbin videos and video calls on Zoom and Teams are good with an upload speed of a bare minimum of 30Mbps. Thus faster upload speed at home (where Flint is connected)= faster download speed abroad (where you use travel routers)

[@Elia268]

With 30mbps with the IPS, would this cause issues with latency with VOIP calls? I work at a call centre type of job and we use voip. I’m concerned about the latency. Thanks for your content.

Hey Rocky, I saw in the comments that you're now recommending the Flint 2 for future clients. Over the summer, you helped me set up my routers, and everything seems to be working fine so far.

[@RockyinReelTime]

Hi Basam! To answer your question, I tell clients with company phones to keep it on airlplane mode and only turn on Wi-Fi and remain connected to the travel router if they need to take it on a trip. Also If you have an iPhone as your company phone as well as personal, you can sign into your iCloud account on your company phone, adjust call settings to forward a call from phone 1 to 2 and when you receive a call on your company phone, it'll be forwarded to your personal. So you can theoretically leave your company phone at home while taking your personal. I believe the newer iOS updates allow for this.

[@pr0dagy]

Thanks Rocky. It seems safer to keep the company phone at your home country instead of taking it with you and keeping it on airplane mode.

What if I'm already in Brazil but trying to get a job in the US in Colorado is there a way to do it

[@RockyinReelTime]

@@marquismukesel9840 You would need the travel router shipped to you. Keep in mind it’ll be double the price to receive here in Brazil because of import taxes. But as long as you have someone in the states who can receive the Flint router and set it up, the setup can be done remotely. Your person in the states would have to be on the Zoom call as well, plus their internet needs to meet the requirements. I would highly suggest going back to get your company laptop though as it’s going to be hard to ship it here and overall the logistics are harder

[@YaYa-wh1cr]

Thank you for this video. Very informative. I never knew this was possible. I have a question. Does the travel router need to be at the home address for the initial setup? Or would do they just need the base router to set it up there & I can set up the travel router remotely at my location?

[@Imperium_DI]

Will this work for me? How do I work abroad(from US to Philippines) with my laptop that has my company's VPN installed on it, without my company noticing the change of my location and the location (and IP address) of the new router I will need to use for internet connection?

[@sharifbabaev8558]

What’s the difference between using just travel router by itself and using travel router connected to the flint? Thanks in advance

[@RockyinReelTime]

The Flint acts as a server you connect to, thus making this whole setup your own VPN. If you use just the travel router you nee to use OpenVPN and use a 3rd party VPN which is still very detectable because you'd be using Nord's servers for example and many of their IPs are blacklisted because they are known by many commercial firewalls

My issue is that certain countries in which my company does not have business in, access to outlook for example, is blocked. Will using the router and connecting it to the VPN be able to bypass that? Or would I have to do the entire home set up as well, I don’t trust that if I leave it home it’ll be untouched.

[@RockyinReelTime]

There’s a work around for bypassing VPN blocks in certain countries. You can certainly use a VPN connection with the router but it’s better for personal use and not working abroad. The two router setup is the safest if you want to work abroad and go virtually undetected. I suggest finding a trusted family or friend that won’t touch the Flint

[@EpadaDurenviel]

Thanks so much. This one setup can be used for multiple devices, correct? For instance, mobile phone, a personal laptop, and your business computer.

[@RockyinReelTime]

Yes you can have multiple devices connected to this. While you’re abroad however, you’re limited to the upload speed you have at home. Your download speed abroad is what your upload speed is at home. So if you want more devices or a lot, then make sure to have very fast upload speed at home. I recommend at least 150Mbps if you want to have 7+ devices connected to it but if you want just 2-3 maybe 4, 35-50Mbps of upload speed should be fine

[@Veejaii]

[@elcamellointl]

Informative as always. What would be your suggestions on lowering latency as much as possible?

You have to make sure your upload speed in the states is as fast as it can get. The higher the upload speed on the states side, the higher your download speed is abroad

You need a router at your home as well because if you use a regular VPN on the travel router, your employer will be able to know that you are using a VPNserver but if you use a router at your home as a VPN server then your employer will think that you are connected to your home network while you’re working

BUT, I’m torn between that and Mexico. MX seems like an option because of the simple residency requirements. And MX offers ease of access to US if they did need me to travel back to the states and it’s cheaper than Panama. Thoughts?

@@RockyinReelTime I just tried it today and I'm using the Flint as my main router and wireguard server and it's working for the most part.

I just want to know if there's an advantage before I buy an extra router. Also worth noting that although I was able to have my home IP on the travel router, it's conflicting with my work VPN, not sure where to go from there.

[@RockyinReelTime]

@@anisebeirut1475 I setup Spectrum routers all the time, like literally every week. It’s one of the most common Internet providers in the United States. What’s the model of your spectrum router ? You’ve missed a step or likely have done something wrong. It’s also impossible for me to diagnose or know what next step to take through comments but to also answer your other question, you only need to get two routers, a travel router like the Slate AX or Beryl and a Wi-Fi 6 router like the flint (to connect to the Spectrum router). I haven’t encountered a Spectrum router that doesn’t allow you to do port forwarding yet, so yours likely does. Also how are you testing this? If you’re testing at home you’re going to always see your home IP address when connected to the travel router, you must test in a different location or at least use a hotspot. Testing at home will always give you the same IP address and make it look like you’ve configured it correctly.
