My IP address should be with in Mexico

Hi Team,

I am working from mexico.my organization allow to work only from inside mexico, I am planning to travel to outside.

If I buy GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (Flint 2) and GL.iNet GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX) it will help to work from anywhere in the world with ( Mexico IP. Because I need to connect Clint VPN in my laptop so. Please help with the best solution for my problem.

Talk to your organization and tell them you won't work from Mexico. That is the best solution.

All other solutions might work (or not work).

You could install an GL router inside Mexico and connect to it using WireGuard / OpenVPN: WireGuard Server - GL.iNet Router Docs 4

Or you could try to use one of the VPN providers which might have some exit node inside Mexico so you have a Mexican IP: WireGuard Client - GL.iNet Router Docs 4

Please keep in mind that as long as the client is owned by your company, they have more or less methods to keep track of you.

As someone who is currently enjoying Mexico, and writing this post with a USA IP address, by using two older GL iNet routers, one with me in Mexico and one in the USA, I feel that the routers you listed should work fine for allowing you to use your home IP address in Mexico while traveling.

That said, if on my Windows PC, using the Google Chrome browser that I have logged into my Google account, and in the Google Search Box I enter the question "where am I now" Google brings up a map of Guadalajara MX, as my Android based cell phone which shares the same Google account as my Windows PC, gave away my real location to Google, as my phone has a GPS and does cellular location. Just using your home IP address may not be enough to hide your foreign location, depending on what technology your company is using.

How much do you know about networking? Unfortunately, setting up and maintaining multiple VPN routers is not always plug-and-play. Sometimes it works out of the box, most of the time it does not, and other times it will just break. If you do not have the technical experience for setting up and maintaining multiple VPN routers, do you know someone who has this experience and will help you?

If you are on travel and one of your routers breaks, or your home ISP goes down, or if there is an extended power outage at your place in Mexico, what is your back up plan? I travel full-time, and I carry enough gear with me that I have no single point of failure. In the USA, I have multiple VPN routers that are in different parts of the USA, each running multiple VPN protocols, on multiple ports, just in case. If your job depends on you having a Mexican IP address, can you afford setting up redundancy?
