Hi all,

A bit stressed out. Accepted a new job as a practice development manager role, been in this field for years. Supposed to be moving to the new state in the coming months, boss and manager aren’t too worried about it - at least during the sign-on process in March. Lately I’ve been asked if I’ve moved yet…it’s in motion still.

I do not have admin rights and I have a MBP work laptop. Is there a way to vpn to the state I’m supposed to be in? I am not allowed to ‘forget this network’ without admin rights so I’m automatically connecting to my current Wi-Fi regardless. Is there anyway to bypass this or make it look moreso like I’m in that state or at least connected to a server that’s closer? Can they even monitor and check where exactly I am? Can I hotspot to my phone and vpn from my phone?

Curious if there’s a temporary work around to buy me time on finding a new spot to live out there.

Thanks
