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 try emplyerwill 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?

Hate to recommend reddit-logo for anything, but the digitalnomad sub has had a lot of advice for people in precisely your situation.

I'm not in that situation, but can remember a couple of tips: keep your machine on your would-be location's time because some popular app will leak it and make sure to not reveal the position of the sun where you are by taking video calls in a room with windows.
