Looking into getting a router where I can configure ExpressVPN at the gateway (no need on every device). I need to use a VPN for work (Cisco AnyConnect) from my laptop, would this work?
Would my traffic be tunneled via Express (router configured) and then tunneled again (via local VPN) to corporate VPN network from the Express endpoint wherever I connect? This would be ideal, but just checking if anyone has any experience with this.
If your company uses VPN you dont need another VPN to connect to them. By connecting your computer to corporat VPN you create a secure tunnel. No need for 2nd VPN, unless you want to hide your location or home IP from your company.
There is the potential for MTU issues. Also, some corporate IT do not like connections originating from such networks.
Never a good option to run a VPN inside a VPN.
Get the ExpressVPN router from Amazon, or flash their firmware on a compatible router. Then use the device policy routing to exclude your office laptop from the VPN tunnel, while tunneling ALL other devices through ExpressVPN
I’m trying to determine (for a colleague) if they can work from another part of the world and not have the corporate VPN see that they are connecting from a foreign IP. The goal would be to VPN via express to the US and then use the corporate VPN.
Thanks; I’m trying to determine (for a colleague) if they can work from another part of the world and not have the corporate VPN see that they are connecting from a foreign IP. The goal would be to VPN via Express to the US and then use the corporate VPN; which is then connecting from a US network.
With that it’ll look like it’s coming from a US datacentre IP vs a US home IP.
You can try it out but I wouldn’t be surprised if you encounter issues or slow connectivity (probably not a good idea if your friend needs to take video calls).
