Honestly you are in a pickle. If you can put the laptop in airplane mode + turn off blue tooth that might work? Still need a VPN Router. I would also recommended a few dry runs. Test in another country for few days come back etc. See if raises any red flags. - If location lock is on than that laptop is honestly pretty secured.
I might not even risk it then. I would maybe start looking for new job at this point. That is tough one.

I see others talking about remote desktop in but I can’t recommend that either. To many things can go wrong and if you out of country its a pain in the ass.

Dumb question maybe but how does the laptop even know what location you are in? If it’s using wireless, then you can disable the wireless adaptor and used a Ethernet to Glinet. Then disable Bluetooth adaptor.

How else could a laptop know where it is other than internet? And now with the wired connection, it’ll just show your VPN location. Unless you got a gps in that thing.

Am I missing something?

Ditch the corporate overlords and live free! The open road awaits.

My laptop is locked to location services = on. I hard wire into my router with WIFI and Bluetooth turned off. Never had an issue and I semi-regularly review my logins, all of which report my “work location.”

If the laptop is in flight mode and plugged into a router by cable, I don’t see how location services would find your location.

But there’s a solution to this - test it.

Setup a nomad vpn router. Check your location. I’m sure you can find an app that does it using location services. Next - drive to a friend’s house an hour+ away. Run location app. What does it say?

Make sure your wireguard vpn uses either a home router eg Brume 2, or residential ip, eg StarVPN.
