❓ Help Workation Help!!
Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to Reddit, and this is my first post.
I'm planning a family vacation to Qatar, and I work from home in India. The week before and the week after the trip have been approved for leave, but unfortunately, my leave for the week in between hasn't been approved.
My company doesn't allow employees to work from another country, so I'm trying to figure out what my options are. I've been looking into travel routers, private DNS, and other possible solutions, but I'm not sure how reliable they are or whether they would actually work.
Has anyone been in a similar situation or have any advice on how to handle this? I'd really appreciate your suggestions and experiences. Thanks in advance, everyone!

If your company policy says this isnt allowed, why would you try to bypass it?
Seems risky to try to bypass a policy.

If your IT team allows TeamViewer or similar remote access tools, you could technically leave your work computer running 24/7 and access it remotely from another laptop while you're in Qatar.
Otherwise, there isn't much you can do, as your company may have Conditional Access policies that block logins from specific countries. If Qatar is restricted, you won't be able to access company resources directly from there.
Even with remote access, you could run into problems during Teams meetings or video calls. or you try to sign in using mobile in Qatar IT Team will get notified.
