Vpn to work in Thailand

Site Feedback
1

I have a work laptop, and whenever I need to install a program, I have to call IT. They remotely control it as administrators and enter the password to grant permissions.

So, how can I set up a VPN from the US on my computer?

Methods I’ve tried:

1.	Installing a VPN on my iPhone and sharing the connection.

(Speedtest on the iPhone shows it’s in the US, but the computer detects it without the VPN.)
2. Using a Microsoft computer with VPN and sharing Wi-Fi. It still detects the Wi-Fi without the VPN.

Any suggestions?

If you have access to the Chrome, Firefox or Edge browser you can try a VPN service that offers a browser extension. In many cases browser extensions are not restricted by corporate IT. 12VPX and ProtonVPN have one that I know of.

Ask your work if they allow a random VPN provider access and if you are allowed to work from Thailand

If not, then they’ll find out and you’ll get fired or worse.

try purchasing a travel router like gl.inet and installing a vpn on that?

We have many customers in Thailand, mainly expats, never heard of problems. Not Thailand is the problem but your lack of permissions.

I will definitely try that!
Does it only work for the web? Since I need to access to a shared drive trough a downloaded drive

I plan to be there only for 2 weeks. I assume they will say no since they have a block for other countries

Can you suggest one?

The browser extensions will only work for stuff that can be accessed through the browser. (Most of these drive services have a web version though).

Well then you may lose your job getting caught. Especially if they already have monitoring software installed in the PC

travel router: gl.inet Beryl AX
vpn: nordVpn

Some companies still rely on old-fashion network drives/physical file servers though, you know those that allow you to access files on a network before cloud storage became a thing. In such a case the browser extension would be useless.

My company has a VPN that can only be accessed through a us ip. Is not that they have a monitoring software.
I need that vpn to access to the drive and use files from there.

I just need a VPN to access their VPN.
I didn’t know that it was that risky
