I literally just spent 4 hours trying to figure out how to get it to work. Then I came upon this video and it helped me in 20 minutes!! Thanks!!!!

This is by far the easiest and most simple instructions I found for this! I watched multiple videos and this one helped me the most!! Thank you so much Justin!!!

the PERFECT video upload, thank YOU justin because this is EXACTLY what i'm looking for working from Mexico

This is a great informative Video! Thank you for putting this together it was very helpful. I also like the layout of the video interesting to put the unboxing at the end. - Thanks again and hope to see more content.

Thank you! I am going to use this on my next cruise!

Thank you Justin. Amazing content!!

Thank you this walkthrough; this was very helpful

Thank you for this great information.

Thanks for the walk through!

Thank you Justin! Close to my dream of working anywhere haha

This video just solved my current problem. Thanks! Question, I also have a Solis. It hit or miss in certain spots. Do you have any other one you recommend? It worked amazing in central america. Having issues with it in certain European countries.

So helpful 💯🙏🏼

Just used your affiliate links!! Thanks for the video!

I bought this router, rented an Azure Ubuntu VM in Canada. Setup openvpn server, setup my router with openvpn client- my company doesn’t allow me to leave Canada. I bought a plane ticket to Thailand, the vpn has been working while I’m in Canada - let’s see what happens when I go to Thailand. I think it’s gonna work 💯

Great video and thank you so much for doing it quick question when you connect the device do you connect it with your own personal laptop or work laptop

Amazing video

This is so helpful - truly creating unique helpful content! Are you able to connect your computer to your work’s vpn with this method and still show your location in the US? Or would you need to use the method of your other video with both routers?

Hey Justin, great video. My WireGuard set up is the same but with two slate AXs. I have 200 mb at home and 300 overseas but only am getting 10mbs with the speed test. Any configuration changes that can be made to speed this up? Or is it just limited by time?

Hi great video and clear instructions. Can the ISP of the VPN location be obfuscated or customized as a local carrier instead of the default shown ISP when converting the IP address and get its location and ISP and ASN searchable number? Thanks

Hi Justin, thanks for the amazing video. Does Zscaler act as a gps for the “boss” to find out if I am working outside the country?

Thanks for the informative video! Would I be able to connect to my company’s VPN if I’m connecting through this router?

Thank you so much!!!

You’re the real MVP

Thank you for doing this. I am following your instructions but am getting stuck at switching over to GL-AXT1800 from my internet. It's not connecting. Can you assist with troubleshooting what the problem could be? Thank you.

Hello, great videos. Can I set-up ATX-1800 that I want to use as my Wireguard VPN Server BEHIND my Verizon FIOS router (meaning on a LAN port on the Verizon Router) and leave the WAN port connected to the WAN port of the Verizon router As long as I do port forwarding on the Verizon router? I would prefer not to connect the ATX-1800 directly to the WAN port from the Internet box. Thanks

Thanks bro

Hi Justin .. Thanks a lot for your informative video. I have a dedicated IP address with NordVPN , any idea how I can configure the static IP address to this router?

Thanks for the video Justin, it's really helpful. May i know the process to connect with Express VPN? Thanks in advance

Hi Justin, I was testing this at a hotel, but I was getting "Subnet conflicts. Please change LAN IP address. Set LAN IP" when I try to connect to the hotel wifi. What would cause this? Now I was using a mini router. I plan to buy the one in your video when I get home through your link. Thanks.

Hi Justin, no doubt a great video, Just wondering do i have to buy NORD VPN Subscription separately? Does it allow tethering ?

Hi Justin. I have a question please. I dont need to have my IP home address because I am allowed to travel within Europe and work from Europe. But if I want to go further and I will tell my boss I'm in Spain by example, when I'm connected to a Spain server via VPN will the ISP be shown as being from Spain too or it will show the real ISP where I'm actually located (the IT department will ve receiving traffic from my actual country I'm in). Is there other way that they can see I am not in Spain if I do all this trick? Appreciate your answer. Thanks a lot.

Quick question: when you configure the client vpn through NordVPN, how does it obtain local dns? In addition, what is the difference between client and server configuration for the vpn? Like if we purchase dedicated static IP address in Dallas, that will be considered as server configuration? That would be great if you could share the training video. You are the best

Hi Justin! Thank you for this amazing video. How would I install a killswitch?

Would you please advise the cheaper one just to serve the purpose of changing location please

thanks for the video sir

In the instructions, does it detail the max size of the micro SD card that can be used please?

Hi Justin, great video. Got myself one and with your link I signed up for NordVPN. I can’t seem to get the vpn client connection started. It just stays on “the client is starting, please wait…” yellow tab. Any ideas how to troubleshoot? I’ve rebooted and reset the firmware and no luck

I’m not a tech savy person so just to get it straight. 1) Once setup just like you did here we just connect the travel router to whatever wifi or internet cable we have available and it will show the vpn from let’s say Dallas? 2) what about the live location for example if there’s a geolocation check would it show the live location or Dallas as location. Thank you for tour help.

Thank you so much! You are a real home for that one! I installed everything as told. My travel router has Internet, my home (server) router doesn't. That makes me feel very insecure. What did I do wrong? Can I still travel safely?

Thank you so much for this information. Can you still do it if your company has already put a VPN ( Cisco) on your computer? also what is the best procedure to get connected without my employer knowing if I wanted to travel outside of the US?

Hi Justin, is the setting up of the router (going to the web portal to set up the router) done on a personal laptop or a work laptop? My understanding is that you were setting it up on your personal PC

Hi Justin! Thank you for making such a helpful video. My current work set up is much more flexible where I do not need to work through a company VPN or use a company laptop. I can access everything via my personal laptop. We just use outlook and teams and work on a website platform. Given these circumstances, would I need a site to site router to connect to my home IP address? Or would having this one travel router and using NordVPN suffice? Just not sure how advanced of a VPN system I need to get away with this

any advice for faster connection speeds ? other than disconnecting the vpn bc obviously i need that part .. im nervous wifi out the country wont be able to withstand the work i do

Does the router support more than one vpn profile? Let’s say I have two devices and each one should “be connected“ from a different location . Coil I just create two profiles , set each one on a different location and connect individually to them?

Hi I wonder how is this different from me connecting public WiFi and turn my vpn service on? Thank you so much!

So if i was using a work desktop and docker, i would connect the ethernet from the docker to the SLAT travel router and the travel router connects to the home (fios) router? Please correct me if im wrong

It’s me again asking the same question !!! Can I use this to by pass the VPN installed in my work computer ? It’s a work computer and I don’t have administrative rights, so only IT can make change to my computer..so I am wondering if I were to type the ip address on my work computer will it block me from access the online setting for this device! Patiently waiting on these answers ! 😊

Will this internet traffic still be visible to an employer as obvious VPN traffic? Is that where a site to site VPN is needed (one of your other videos)?

First I want to say thank you for making this video, Justin! Although I am still confused, I think once I watch it a few more times I will get the hang of it. Just to confirm, this method will allow me to connect to my home vpn when I am abroad? As in, if the IT team checks my IP it will display the one from my home? To access certain documents in my company I have to briefly switch to an internal VPN, will this switch reveal my true IP address? (Btw do you do online consultation sessions 😅)

Hey Justin, how would you set up one router as a server and another router to connect to it?

Hey Justin! Super helpful video but I can't see to get the connection with nordvpn to work. It keeps saying please wait for connection to start but never does and I've tried multiple different servers

Hello justin. Thank you for this great video. Do you have any other way i can connect. I already traveled to Africa and wanted to setup.

My hotel Wi-Fi requires me to acknowledge usage terms using a "I Agree" checkbox and "OK" button, before internet access is connected.. How is that handled by the Slate AX?

Hello, thank you for the video!!! I followed the steps with wireguard and the exact same setup (opo and state), but the speed is only 3.5mb/s dl (the two network got individually more than 30mb/s). Is there a way to improve it?

Thank you for this. I followed all the instructions however once I enable the vpn its stuck on " the client is starting , please wait " .. I tried it yesterday and today. I also changed locations and still nothing. Am I missing something?

Great video. What is the best vpn service or what vpn features should I use, so it can’t be detected that I am using a vpn. Detected by security softwares such as crowdstrike falcon or by the naked eye by looking at the IP address ( from the vpn ). Thanks.

Can you more tutorial videos for this device? Like step by step installation and configuration the vpn

Hi Justin I bought slate atx 1800 to use it during my travel . How do I go about connecting to hotel WiFi ? As I need to enter login and password . How do I go about setting it up . Can you help ? Thanks

Whats the difference between Slate AX vs Beryl? Is it only the higher speed?

Hi Will this only work with Nord vpn? I see they only have servers in Miami, could I use surfshark for Orlando or Tampa?

Hi, I've been using the very good setup from this video and it works very well! But suddently the connection couldn't get through after one month abroad. I had to reconfigure everything and it works again. It look the key have changed. Is there any time limit or something additionnal I have to do to avoid that issue again?

Hi Justin. Do you know if it's possible to use a company VPN on my work laptop if I'm also connected to the Slate AX with NordVPN running? For example, If I'm in NY but want to show up as in Dallas (through the NordVPN on my Slate AX) would using my company VPN cancel my Slate router and show that I'm actually in NY?

Hello Jastine, how we connect with work laptop after setup.

Can I do this if I have already left the u s ad need to set it up in Mexico to show I’m in the states ?

Hello back again with some more questions, I am looking for GL.iNet GL-AXT1800 (Slate AX) Pocket-Sized Wi-Fi 6 Gigabit Travel Router, Extender/Repeater for Hotel&Public Network, VPN Client&Server, OpenWrt, Adguard Home, USB 3.0, Network Storage, TF Card Slot…which is the one you showed us, but I also see other version of it that have 1300, and 3000 as the number version are these the same ? Just want to confirm

Hi Justin, do you enable AdGuard? With it enabled, you can't control DNS, wanted to know your thoughts on it.

I tried to follow your other video where I got an opal and slate router to use my home IP address but I could never get it to work. I then went on to follow this video with just the slate router because it seemed easier. I'm still stuck. I set up the slate router on my private PC and set the location to another US city(miami) to see if it would work. On the gli net admin page it did work as you said and my IP address changed. I checked my weather app to see if the location changed and it showed the weather for my current location, not miami. To me this indicated that the VPN did not change my location info just my IP address. any help regarding this? My biggest issue is I thought once I set everything up on my personal pcp that I could just connect to the gl-atx wifi and be good to go because my work laptop has blocked my ability to go to the 168... webpage to access the gli net admin panel. Also when I check my weather(location) on my work laptop it was my current location not miami. I will also note that once i connect to wifi on my work laptop i have to connect to the VPN already placed there by my job before i can access the internet. I am looking for the workaround that allows me to just connect my work laptop to a wifi without any further steps on that computer I am really concerned because I am traveling out of the country and my work laptop will not work on a wifi that is not a domestic IP address. Can you please help. I have been working on this issue for weeks and have sent many messages. As stated before i am willing to pay for your time because after buying 3 different routers, getting a nordvpn subscription and also getting a goodcloud and zerotier account i am still not accomplishing my goal.

Would this still work if we have to connect to the company vpn after we establish the vpn tunnel between the two routers ?

My worl laptop has work vpn. Will this work to hide location with that as well?

Hey Justin, thanks for this video. Just a few quick questions that I haven’t seen asked in other comments: 1.) If I connect my Work Laptop AND other Personal Devices to the same flash router, will the Work Laptop be able to see and use information from the other devices on the network? For example: if my Work Laptop is connected to the router and has it’s location services turned OFF… and my Personal iPhone is also connected to the same router with its location services turned ON… could the Work Laptop potentially use information from the iPhone to figure out it’s location? If so, is there a way to mitigate this? Would it make a difference to: A.) Use 5G for Work laptop, 2.4G for Personal Devices…? B.) Connect Work Laptop to router via Ethernet only and Personal Devices via WiFi only…? C.) Or would you suggest to not connect any Personal Devices to the router AT ALL while the Work Laptop is connected to it…? Would any of the above be overkill…? ------ 2.) I noticed a setting in the Admin Panel that says “Block all Non-VPN Traffic”. My understanding is that if the router should lose the VPN connection at any time, it will stop supplying internet altogether. This is what I want. Can you confirm if this is correct? ------ 3.) Is it necessary to run encrypted DNS with an active VPN? If I don’t, could my Work Laptop use DNS Server information to reveal its real location even while connected to VPN? I’ve been seeing online that encrypting your DNS while running a VPN simultaneously can cause leaks and issues. I followed your advice anyway and setup my DNS settings exactly the way you did in this video. I have not run into any issues. But just want to be proactive in making sure. Thank you in advance 🙏

Question so im using it everything works find except one program when im in dallas i use my normal internet and my calling software works perfectly fine, but when i use the slate ax it has an error message on the software every 3 min and i have to refresh my window for it can keep working any help on that ??please because i work as customer service rep ….

If you want to appear from working at home you should set up your home as a VPN server and VPN into it.

This seriously is a wonderful tutorial and I love your knowledge and process here. You explain everything really well. I was curious about a handful of things 1) Can you apply your own device VPN (Say work VPN) on top of this? 2) Can you have a killswitch that prevents the Travel Router device from connecting to internet unless it has that VPN (through dallas) set up? 3) How does the 30 mbps do for having video zoom calls for work? 4) If I am not mistaken the process is (wifi locally -> travel router -> vpn -> $$$) and your local laptop or phone connects to the travel route (but the local wifi powers the travel routers internet, and is obfuscated by vpn).

So my question is I have it set up and turned off my location from being shared as well Bluetooth and have it wired. The only one that’s still on is “"allow location override" which I believe my job does to change my location time on the desktop to theirs for us to use their program that has everyone on the same local time. ADP on the browser is the only thing that still has our current time when we clock in but everything else is on their location time. Will they still notice ? I feel the VPN router should still do it’s thing but I have to inquire just to be on the safe side.

After watching this video…I understood that you do not need to be home to set this up and if you already are travelling you can make this happen even if you left the country ? because I already left my home country and I am trying to use this to bypass my work VPN…and make it look like I am still in the same country..please let me know..thank you once again

Do you offer consultations for setups?

I have a dedicated IP with NordVPN. How can I set that up? Any ideas? Great video btw!

Hello, what should I do when a hotel's Wi-Fi brings up a login page after connecting? Thanks.

Does this need to be setup in USA before traveling Internacionaly?

I’m not able to connect my client to my server. I’m using BerylAX for both. My client set up for wireguard reads “the client is starting, please wait…” any solution to this?

thanks much for such an amazing content, is it possible to connect with you one on one to go over this process? i want to do the same with my working laptop staying in NY, and me connecting it from Pakistan, please let me know how we can get connected. Thanks

Hi Juston in the select NordVPN Servers list i have no locations in the drop down

I did exactly what you did but my OpenVPN client would NOT connect to the server, keeps showing the client is starting please wait... very frustrating, what am i doing wrong?? thanks.

Hey Justin! Thanks for creating this content. I have a NordVPN account, connected successfully. However, when I attempt to connect to OpenVPN it sits in "The client is starting, please wait..." Any idea why I'm unable to connect?

Do you offer consulting to help me set my routers up? I have an AX1800 and a MT3000

If i use nordvpn for my country, it uses virtual servers and provide ip accordingly. Can that expose my location?

i’m stuck on “This client is starting, please wait” aspect of it (about 11 minutes in), is there something I’m doing wrong that’s causing it to delay so much?

Can i use it as a portable device with my power bank to power on the device and use mobile tethering to use phone internet while im traveling?

Love your videos but I have a question. I have success changing my ip with a vpn in wifi mode. But is there a way I can change the IP with my ethernet plugged in? I don't want to have to get another router. Would love to just do it off this one. WHen I have my ethernet in, it shows my current location. Thank You

Thanks for the information. Does this router work in China ? 😮

does this bypass multi factor authentification?

if a work laptop uses global protect and the user is overseas in a geo blocked location can this be used still to mask the location

at 7:15, after u connect to the free compromised, will your employer see that IP or is the computer not connected to the internet until u do the VPN ? can I do the setup on my smartphone to avoid this ?

Is this work the same for working international ?

Hi Justin, Can you please help me to configure Winscribe rental residential ip address with travel router? I’m planning to travel by using this set up?

Hey just I login to Nord vpn but I cant get the savers to work…any advice

After adding nord vpn, I’m losing internet. What should I do?

If my company already uses a vpn, how do I set this up?

Hi i tried to setup as you showed me video. When i enable openVPN.. it is saying client is starting please wait but it has been 20 mins still not connecting. Can you please help me with this

I followed your steps, when I Enable OpenVPN client ..I get this message" The client is starting, please wait…" but it never connects and it also disconnects me from internet.. Any idea why its not connecting?
