I'll explain. You can use a KVM like PiKVM to remotely log in from another location. For example if your employer requires that you work within the US, you can have a PiKVM device installed locally at a family or friend's home in the country and connect to it from outside the US and it would appear as if you're doing your work domestically.

It's basically a hardware remote-desktop at that point though, so the "KVM" part only applies to the KVM device being connected to another physical device on location.

EDIT: To clarify further, the advantage of this is PiKVM is undetectable by work laptops. Nothing is installed on the work laptop, it's strictly HDMI + USB cables going to the KVM. I know this because I use one for my FAANG job.



I'm familiar with this strategy but haven't used it myself yet. It's interesting no one else in this thread knows about this. They assume it's a multiple job fraud type of situation.
