I have been working remotely for the past 12 months from my GFs condo in TJ. Recently, my company requested that I move back to SD to prevent the mishandling of information. I tried downloading a VPN on my computer and the IT department was alerted.
Has anyone found a solution that does not alert IT departments? I don’t want to be forced to commute or move back to the US and pay the ridiculous rent prices.
Thanks!

He estado trabajando de forma remota durante los últimos 12 meses desde el condominio de mi novia en TJ. Recientemente, mi empresa solicitó que volviera a SD para evitar el mal manejo de la información. Intenté descargar una VPN en mi computadora y se alertó al departamento de IT.
¿Alguien ha encontrado una solución que no alerte a los departamentos de IT? No quiero verme obligado a viajar o regresar a los EE. UU. y pagar precios de alquiler ridículos.
¡Gracias!
EDIT: For anyone wondering I contacted the “tech nerd” mentioned below in the comments. I was skeptical at first but the dude was legit, professional and had me hooked up in his system that same day! He also uses high security devices in order to protect the information from any mishandling. I appreciate the overwhelming amount of responses and help. I’m so happy I’ll be able to stay!!!
IT guy here and since you were flagged once you are on notice already with IT. You could you a VPN on your router but that is another pain. The issue will be your IP address may not be in San Diego it will be where ever the VPN states, could be Texas, LA, Sacramento. Your remote work is most likely at an end now that your company has told you “prevent mishandling of information”. Good luck and look into SENTRI if you get called back into the office.
Had a similar issue a couple of months back while working remotely. Some tech nerd setup a server in SD and rented out routers to remote workers and left no trace for IT departments. Changed jobs and kept the service to watch Hulu. I’m not very tech oriented, but this was a professional solution.
PM me for this guys info
Si tu compañia ya te dijo que no ya mmaste! Mi niña iba a la school en San Diego online,y por no entregar las tareas a tiempo ,nos dijieron que se conectaba de Tij(cosa que ya sabian pero no habia problema),y mi vieja le compro un Hot spot cuando iba a trabajar se iban juntas y la dejaba en una biblioteca y ahi se conectaba y ya)
Otra tip que vi aqui creo ,no se que tan viable sea,irte a rentar a lado de la linea y comprar un Hot spot,ahi va aparecer que estas en USA,pero si rentas no hay problema,el problema seria si ella es dueña de su departamento
I’m not sure but follow digital nomads I’ve seen post on how to overcome this. From what I know you need to set up a router In the US that you connect from mexico, and that’s a way your work IT won’t be alerted. Also try detaching YouTube vids surely there’s people who have some this sort of things in the past.
Just to clarify what someone else already said, the safest bet will be to install a VPN router at a friend’s or someone that you know that lives in san diego. That way you will be connecting your VPN router in tj to your VPN router in san diego so that the traffic goes out from a san diego address. Most companies already have flagged VPN addresses from commercial VPN providers. A VPN it’s juts a tunnel with encrypted info from end to end. Instead of using VPN tunnels from service providers that could already be flagged, set up your own VPN wich is achieved by installing 2 physical VPN devices at each end. No subscription to pay anymore
Pay for a VPN and static IP, mine costs 3 bucks a month and I found a paid VPN for 5 years for 50 bucks. You will set up both in the PFSense firewall.
Set up a VLAN for your regular home network and set up a VLAN for WFH that uses the static US based IP.
Connect to the WFH network.
Success.
Or
Another solution is to hotspot off your phone, it’ll give you an US IP. But this will be a bit slow for video calls. You could buy a Mi-Fi, that’s a bit faster.
