As a requirement of work, my company laptop is installed with Cloudflare WARP. Lately they claimed they are actively monitoring logged in IPs to prevent IPs logged in from overseas. However I am thinking to work abroad for emergency and few options are there, either remotely access my work laptop in the host country from another country, or using VPN router (leaned to this option). If I were to use VPN router, would it affect my work that requires Cloudflare to be turned on? Any idea?
Just let they know you need to go overseas. If your job cannot be done out of your country there is a reason for that.
Don’t try to be the smart guy (you aren’t - you are on Reddit asking for help). Follow the damm rules.
If they are using CF Zero Trust, it’s entirely up to the policies in place. Since you have Warp installed, they could allow your device whatever the IP. You’ll have to check with IT if you really want to know. But the whole point of Zero Trust is to not rely on VPN and stuff like that.
If your using a dedicated device like a router with vpn functionality built in you’ll probably be alright, as long as it’s tunneling it’s traffic to USA based addresses. Also as long as they are not blocking the services ip’s or the vpn service specifically which can be done from the various servers or services your trying to access. You certainly won’t be able to run a software based vpn on the laptop. I would just test this before you leave, if it works at home it should work while you are away also.
Cloud flare doesn’t change your IP, I believe.
Not helping. I still need to know whether VPN router would interfere with Cloudflare WARP
They are using zero trust policy. But I have no way to check with the IT team.
If you’re running the vpn router on your laptop next to warp, best case IT sees what you’re doing (warp does posturing) worst case it doesn’t work.
If you use an external vpn device, it will probably work.
But as said before, circumventing it security measures is reason for termination (and rightfully so) SP don’t put you job on the line unless you’re ok with losing it.
That’s too bad. Do they live in a cave ?
