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 :)

The wifi on a laptop is likely a removable card. You can take the card out.

Your webbrowser Firefox/Chrome/etc uses nearby wifi networks to geolocate you.
