So, my friend has a fully-remote job, but his employer only allows him to work within the state the company is based in. He is planning to move outside of that state, but isn’t prepared to quit his job yet.
To evade detection from IT, this friend wants to set up some sort of VPN tunnel to leave with a relative within the original state, to route the traffic from his work laptop (which is locked down via JAMF software) through. The family he’s leaving this setup with isn’t tech savvy, and wouldn’t be able to troubleshoot anything beyond powercycling a device or plugging in an ethernet cable.
What would he need to do to set up such a tunnel, ideally with remote access to adjust settings/troubleshoot, and how does he ensure that his work laptop never exposes an out-of-state IP to his employer?
Apologies, mods, if this post falls under Rule 3 for “professional” help.
Id just setup a Tailscale exit node on the old address. That can ran even on an apple tv device even when it’s off. And a tailscale subnet router on the new address. The docs on it pretty informative so should be a hassle. Ive done something similar in the past let me know if you need further help.
