Iβm unable to turn off the location tracking myself it needs an Admin to do it, but we donβt have a company VPN, and as for tracker I donβt think they have one in the laptop tbh..

Iβm unable to turn off the location tracking myself it needs an Admin to do it, but we donβt have a company VPN, and as for tracker I donβt think they have one in the laptop tbh..
11.09.2025 21:12 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0But even if they did, S.Korea stops gps tracking, so they couldnβt check that I donβt think?
11.09.2025 21:02 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 3 π 0Not really, since we branched off from the big company itβs a lot smaller

11.09.2025 20:56 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Itβs set to my town location Iβm not sure about zip code. I was googling and it says when I connect to my Wireguard itβs best to do it via Ethernet? However, my laptop doesnβt have an Ethernet portβ¦
11.09.2025 20:54 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0It just comes up on the left hand side of the windows page
11.09.2025 19:48 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Also my laptop now shows my location and the weather? I think theyβve permanently turned on location services? And I canβt seem to turn if off myself. Would this be an issue?
11.09.2025 19:38 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Hi! I was just wondering if you knew of anything a company can install on laptops to still detect location despite Wireguard?
Also for reference Iβm going to South Korea and they donβt have location services at all, (like you canβt even use find my iPhone or AirTags in the country) would it be ok?
Okay great! Iβve been using my Wireguard with my work laptop anyway and itβs been fine but I was just worried if thatβd change once Iβm out the country.
Iβm also going to buy a second WiFi slate 7 so Iβll have two (one at home and one with me) because I think itβll be faster right?
Btw do you know what Z scaler is? My company use that itβs built into my laptop. Apparently itβs a sort of VPN? But Iβm worried if my Wireguard can work with that?
28.08.2025 15:52 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Ohh okay so I donβt need to panic? Thatβs completely normal then?
21.08.2025 04:20 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0By the way is it normal for when Iβm connected to my travel router, everytime I check my ip online it says my home location, but when I check apps like the weather or Google maps they show the city Iβm currently in?
20.08.2025 22:30 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Canβt I use the same one that I copied and pasted to my travel router or would I have to download a new separate one?
27.07.2025 12:25 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Btw I just had a thought. Say for example Iβm already travelling and decide to buy another Slate7 while Iβm out there to replace my travel router, would that work? Or would I need to first set it up with my home WiFi? Because I couldnβt go back home once Iβm already out there
27.07.2025 07:58 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Oh thatβs a good idea!! Okay Iβll try that maybe next weekend :)
26.07.2025 18:21 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yeah it was more so just that one website that didnβt but maybe it was a glitch
26.07.2025 17:42 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I did the dnn test that you suggested by the way and it all came back as my home address. Thatβs good right? Maybe that website I was using just wasnβt working properly
26.07.2025 16:53 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0But the other router is my main router, the Virgin media one. I donβt think I can disconnect that
26.07.2025 16:23 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0In fact, Iβve tested now with 6 other websites and theyβre all showing that my ip address is at my house. But that one website is showing the coffee shop. Thatβs worrying right?
26.07.2025 12:47 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Do I do that on the admin panel?
Also strangely enough when I use a different website to check my IP it shows as my home location. But when I use whatismyip website itβs showing the coffee shop. Iβm confused
Hi, so Iβm currently at a coffee shop in a different city and I just connected to my travel router and went to check my ip address but itβs showing as the location of the coffee shop. Itβs the same as when I checked just connected to the coffee shop wifi. Wireguard is on though
26.07.2025 12:29 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yeah
25.07.2025 21:43 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yes Nord. But when I tried using a vpn with it and chose a different country it didnβt change my location on their map so I donβt think it works
25.07.2025 21:41 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I keep getting asked to verify my profile on tinder but I donβt want them having my face and data. Is there any way to bypass that?
25.07.2025 21:22 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Oh the travel router I bought (GL.iNet GL-AR300M16) didnβt give me an option for 5ghz :/
25.07.2025 21:08 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Is this like for Tinder etc ID verification?
25.07.2025 20:57 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I did notice though, when Iβm configuring the travel router on Bandwidth it says 20/40MHz, if I did buy another Slate7 and used that, couldnβt I increase it?
25.07.2025 20:44 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yeah thatβs what Iβll do tomorrow. Kind of awkward plugging in the router but oh well! Iβll report back if it doesnβt workπ«‘ Iβm also going to try using the wifi with my work laptop on Monday and see if the speed is good enough
25.07.2025 20:41 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Ah okay. I was thinking buying another slate7 and using that as my travel router as well would maybe speed it up lol.
I think everythingβs all set up! Iβm going to test it out tomorrow and see if it works! :)
