Hi So I’m planning on spending some time in a different country and work from there.
So I need to hide the location. Laptop is a HP elitebook with win 11.
IP hide solution idea, using a GL iNet router and setup a wireguard server in order to use the home internet.
https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/3/tutorials/wireguard_server/
Would this work as i intend?
Wifi localisation. I’m not sure if I can just turn of wifi an call it a day. An update or something it might turn it back on. Windows if not the employer will try any way to get the location I assume.
I have a USB dongle that allows me to use lan cable directly from the GL iNet router.
I could also just open it up and disconnect the wifi module /antenna cables.
Bloutooth might be an issue? Anything else?
Edit , thanks for the replies . I can add that USB is somewhat restricted , a flashdrive won’t work however my USB to Ethernet works , the dongle have other ports as well, the USB there won’t work haven’t tried the different sdard slots. So I am assuming that it’s a software mod to deny storage only.
Checked out pikvm , seems cool but I don’t think it will work.
Also fuck what shit is hard on a teltonika router EOL 2 years ago. Thought I knew shit :)
I would run the tunnel from the local travel router (just another GL iNet one I guess) to your US wireguard server, and make sure nothing can route anywhere if that tunnel drops!
Disconnecting the antennas is undetectable remotely, but the card will still sometimes pick up signals I think. Maybe a non-conductive faraday cage/bag/material can be wrapped/taped around it to make the odds very low.
Removing the card entirely can theoretically trigger a TPM holding eg BitLocker keys to reset and make the drive unable to be decrypted without the recovery key. Save your recovery key within the OS if it’ll let you. If you can’t, from my research it doesn’t seem like TPMs generally reset over Wi-Fi cards going missing.
