Remote working from a different Country but company in Canada. How to finnesse IP restrictions

VPN
1

My company is in Canada, I’m visiting UK and I need to remote work from UK to avoid getting paycut.

Problem : Working from any other country apart from Canada is not allowed in my company.

Now, If i get VPN subscription on my phone, and connect to a Canadian VPN server from UK. Will my phone have a Canadian IP address? IF so, can I turn on Hotspot from my phone then connect my restricted work laptop to my Phone’s hotspot which is connected to Canadian VPN Server.

​

I need to make sure at all costs that my work laptop connects to internet that has an IP address located in Canada.

Yes, you will have a Canada IP address in your phone . But if you hotspot using your phone your PC won’t have the VPN connection and you will have a UK IP in your PC, you’ll need to run VPN on your PC too.

Be sure to know if your company software use other locations methods to estimate your actual location rather than IP. I have encountered some software that use WiFi, GPS & Bluetooth to estimate your location. Be sure also that they don’t block VPN connections also.
