So the laptop provided by work, which is used to connect to a virtual machine, does not allow turning off location services, which are used pretty much all the time according to windows. Even if I were to set up a gl.inet system on my own, would this negate all of that? Are nomad dreams done for now, at least on this role?
If the laptop is in flight mode and plugged into a router by cable, I don’t see how location services would find your location.
But there’s a solution to this - test it.
Setup a nomad vpn router. Check your location. I’m sure you can find an app that does it using location services. Next - drive to a friend’s house an hour+ away. Run location app. What does it say?
Make sure your wireguard vpn uses either a home router eg Brume 2, or residential ip, eg StarVPN.
