How do you get caught? If I log into my workstation from russia without actually working I dont break any rules. But if they don't let me know then I can conclude that they don't actually check where I logged in from.

I openly log in from different u.s. states and they haven't said anything. Afraid they do have red flags for foreign countries but technically I'm not supposed to log in from out of state.

step one is to create a permanent public record of your intent and acknowledgment of its illegality.

If I do it openly without using VPN then they agree to my use unless they stop me. And u really think someone would try to get access of my internet browsing history if the issue is my work logins? Not like I'm accused of child porn

this isn't 100% because some companies are known to use gps monitoring on the laptop. but if they don't it's golden.

just realized you meant the country finding you out, not your company. i guess they could look into people connected to USA servers for 4+ hours a day, but that's pretty sophisticated. most of these places have enough trouble taxing their own citizens. the more advanced ones are selling digital nomad visas for your protection.

So I would have some type of VPN box that let's me connect my workpc from Russia to my homepc and that connects online? Then the function of homepc is to just be turned on and have internet access? Doesn't even need to be logged into windows? What happens if I lose internet or my modem needs to be reset in florida?

no need for a home pc, you just connect a VPN router to your home router, then another VPN router to your laptop that tunnels through the home router so it looks like you're "there". and yeah loss of service is a risk, but hopefully you've got someone around who can reset it. (mine's at my parent's place) if it really goes down you take a few sick days until the provider can fix it.

Wow that actually sounds legit. And you used this company? The VPN box that they provide I would have to take abroad with me, is that something that doesn't break? That would mean instead of working nights in usa I could work days in Russia and my $$ would go much further there.

been using it for close to 2 years now without any issues. it's a small travel router. haven't had any issues with it but i have worried about it. i guess i could buy a backup?

edit: just saw they offer a package with an extra travel router.

Wow if I had known about this earlier I might be living abroad now. I think buy an apt in dubai and occasionally live there occasionally elsewhere might be realistic

How to know if the company has a GPS monitor? And is that software or hardware?

i've only read about it on reddit and apparently and it cannot be fooled. sounds limited to big time tech cos and people with any kind of security clearance or secret work.

I would think most companies only care about this because it makes their payroll tax complicated. I.e. if you're in euro your employer must pay those taxes, but if you are 1099 then employer don't pay anything. But in my line of work it is illegal to work outside usa because harder to sue me if i am not on u.s. territory, basically the law only serves to help lawyers that may sue me.

it's not really an issue unless you are taking away work from locals or not paying taxes at home. I had to sign an attestation for my French visa that I would not perform French work, but working for the US remotely for 9 mos+ was fine.

So you got a long term visa and France did not ask u to file local tax after staying over 6months?

as part of my visa app there was a letter I signed saying I wouldn't perform french services, and I did not. I was attached to another person's visa so assume the fees paid cover whatever the concern was. I was still flying back and forth and paid US / state tax.

The French won't even kick you out if you overstay your visa and they find out.

I'd be more worried about having to file tax or other legal trouble if I overstay. I guess if u just work there once for a year u can get away with it just like some of those nomad visa programs. But if u buy an apt or otherwise rent multi-year they can claim worldwide income tax unless u proof that u stay under 6months per year.
