So with covid everyone is working remotely. However life is life and due to personal circumstances I need to be in Belarus for a few months. My work has already said that I can only work from Ireland.

My question is, theoretically if I was to get a VM in Ireland, remote to it from Belarus, and then remote into work. That should work as my work PC in Dublin will get the connection from some data centre in Ireland.

Has anyone done something similar? Anyone see any issues?

That could work. You could also just get something like Bitdefender with VPN and select Ireland as your proxy location (I mean some places can detect proxies as different than a normal system, but... it rarely matters. Maybe for accessing Craigslist and 4chan)

Good luck. From what I'm seeing Belarus is a much more fun place than most to be right now :) [0]
