You should atleast recommend a router ( to replace our home internet router because most of us have had the old routers that don’t have bridge mode ) that does supports and have bridge mode so we could save the hassle of port forwarding because for some are complete beginners .
Because if we can get to replace the home internet router with a bridgemode router , then we can dive in the guide immediately regarding the configuration between the 2 GLI routers that you recommend , again I might sound coming on too strong but I really do thank your effort

I saw that this wouldn’t work if you didn’t have a public IP, is that correct?
I have Cox and have yet to get it working. Not sure if I need to forward specific ports between my ISP router and my Gli.Net
Sent you a DM about setting up only one travel router as opposed to a home + travel router
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m currently dealign with trying to figure this out! I’m going to shoot you a DM if you don’t mind. I make calls all day, so I need the connection to be fast, and I want to get some advice on how I can make sure the connection is fast.
if someone moves to France to work remotely for four months they now are liable for French taxes
May I ask for a source about the 4 months threshold triggering French tax residence? During my research, I was under the impression that you can spend more than 4 months in France without becoming tax resident as long as you spend more time in another country:
- 5 months in France + 4 months in Italy + 3 months in Switzerland = does trigger tax residence in France
- 5 months in France + 5.5 months in Italy + 1.5 months in Switzerland = does NOT trigger tax residence in France
Shouldn’t the 183 day rule apply? Is there something special about France?
My company has a pre-approved list of states they allow us to work from. Solves most of the issues. Remote work, doesn’t mean you can work anywhere. It means more freedom of where to work.
my position is that it is a personal thing and as long as the company will not ever be liable to any tax abroad then it should be up to you to sort out any of your own extra liabilities in your new location
It’s going to be extremely difficult for most to figure out what the company’s tax position and liability is going to be.
Appreciate the detailed response.
What if I’m using dual-VPN on a personal machine?
This is the only right answer. A VPN router with an internet kill switch will only work for companies who don’t have the means or interest to really check properly.
Connecting to a home VPN will likely require installing unapproved software to your work computer. This seems like a surefire way to get fired, since you’d be doing it to deceive and get around company policies.
but you are still reporting BSSIDS from near WiFis that can be geolocated back to your “actual” country… this does not solve it
What I always chuckle at is the general “how dare my company expect this?!? Are they lying??” vibe from such posts / questions.
Dude, you signed the employment contract…
but can it be signaled that you are using a vpn tunnel with kill switch?
Technically, it is very possible for your company to log your ip while you connect to company vpn and then notify the sysadmim.
Vast majority of sysadmins wouldn’t care and wouldn’t want an extra email telling them stuff they don’t care about.
This is not true. Legally, states can absolutely collect taxes from ‘visitors’ even with a short period of time. You’re confusing a home state or tax domicile (which usually is 183 days) with owing taxes based on income earned while physically present in a state. You can have a tax domicile but owe taxes to the state you were in while the money was earned. Most companies choose to ignore this for short durations, like business trips, but longer stays like being assigned to work a multi-month project they cannot.
Just ask pro sports players, they get paid per game and need to pay state income tax to the state that hosted the game, even if the player resides in another state.
Also, WC likely doesn’t cover your ees if they are actually living in a state you don’t pay WC insurance within. It’s a risk to the company and your employees.
This. I run a fully remote company as well and it’s not all that hard. Worker’s Comp is the biggest pain in the ass, but doable.
