VPN router question? (Work abroad)

[Arralian]

Hello everyone,

I am on the road to “work from home” in another country. At the minute I am based in the UK.
I want to purchase a VPN router so my IP location stays in the UK. Atm I am looking at Beryl AX GL-MT3000 router. With openVPN and WireGuard.
The system I am working from is a desktop PC which uses a wired internet cable, no Wi-Fi.
What is the better option (easier)? To set up two routers, one as a VPN server to a network in the UK and another router in the country I am going to as a client and connect the client one to my desktop. Or buy the above mentioned router and use it as a VPN aka taking it with me?
Whats the process behind both ?

Thank you,
G

< snicker > I love how many people are looking to do clandestine remote working now that the COVID ‘lockdowns’ are all but lifted. It’s good stuff.

@Arralian , that’s a great choice for a GL device but don’t forget the Slate AX outperforms the Beryl AX in both WireGuard & OpenVPN. You’re going to want WireGuard as your VPN tunnel tech. if you can.

Setup Leak safe

Hello, can you please rate my setup? Currently I have the slate connected via cable to the LAN port of my router and configured as follows: [Screenshot_20230628_134535_Brave] Is this 100% secure against leaks? In the network area I have not changed the configuration, should I pay attention to something there? I would like to work abroad without my employer knowing: with my work notebook I connect to the vpn of the employer after connecting to slate wifi, on the slate I have set up a vpn (wir…

Advice for my Current Setup and Fallback Routers

At this point, I have four routers. Two Beryl AX, an unopened Opal 1200 and an unopened Slate AX. I was able to get the two Beryl AX routers up and working - one server, one client using Wiregaurd VPN to mask my location. Some questions and concerns: I tested the Client Beryl at a friend’s house and it wouldn’t connect to her Wi-Fi normally, only worked via Ethernet cable. That makes me nervous for obvious reasons. I did drop this Beryl from a height of about 5 feet though… could that have fr…

I suggest you set it up like this

@Arralian

one as a VPN server to a network in the UK

Run the WireGuard Server on this router. Then generate the client profile and export it.
But you need to make sure it has a public IP available. This device has a public IP or you can set up forwarding on the ISP router.

@Arralian

another router in the country I am going to as a client and connect the client one to my desktop.

Yes, you just need to import this client profile in WireGuar Client and run it.

Hey, were you ever able to set up your router? Right now I only have one, I already set up the OpenVPN client but I am not sure what to do next. I work from home in the US but traveling abroad and I am a bit confused on how to properly set up my Beryl router to reflect either my home IP or an USA IP address from my personal third party vpn client.
