Try using a VPS now.... Or cheaper long term solution...


Tell your frien to buy you a cheap moderately good PC, Like an old MacBook.


Since power in Usa is 24/7

U can always Access the Pc here with TEAMVIEWER and do whatever I want to do.
(This one also has its setbacks)


Or simply get a VPS from AWS

segmond:


Verification has been done through zoom video call and US ID was requested for. So the identity has been established. Will you advise I continue using my dedicated US VPN ip?

With a dedicated IP, you should be good. Hope you chose an IP in the same state as your yankee contact. Just to be safe

VPS with a static IP, yes?

But yes, my first preference would be a good pc I’m OP’s US contact’s residence. You get a residential ip and with a KVM it’s almost like seating in front of the PC

QuoteJustOnce:


been in this situation, no no they don't give a f**k if you're using aws, gcp, vpn with a usa ip; as long as they are able to establish your identity at the onset as being physically present in the states; unless the employer is too pesky and micromanaging
many people physically present in the usa still use cloud vpns
in my situation i even had to receive calls via call-forwarding, employer -> proxy -> me
and trust me it was a whole lot of lengthy calls.

What kinds of latency are you getting for these calls? I’m having to deal with calls from a San Diego VOIP server and seeing 260ms+ latency

How's the call experience? Do you notice significant delays?

Significant delays, no. And to be honest, it hasn’t affected how I work mostly. But once in a while I get one way audio, and at other times, noticeable jitters. But these are few and far in between. Just that when they do occur they can be a nuisance. I also have a VOIP app installed on my phones. On Android I will get most of my calls, but iOS can be crazy sometimes as push notifications fail to work. So unless the app (Linphone/Grandstream Wavelite) is actively open I may miss some calls. But for desktops apps (I use Microsip) I’m often good.

Thanks. I often use Hetzner for European servers or DO/Linode for US. What has your experience with OVH been like?

Not a bad experience overall if you ask me. Your latency is still within the acceptable threshold looking at the distance, that was the reason I asked for your actual experience. It's normal to have jitters once in a while and it could be from either end.
What do you use the VPS for?

tensazangetsu20:


Sir with all this limitations, you still sure say make person still stay naija so. To get job is one problem, to do job, another problem to even get paid for the job done, algebraic equations.

Baba, Portugal and Romania dey there. I thought you've already moved.

Luckily both proxy and me were both on wired solutions; so around 14ms on bad days.
Don't think i ever for once saw anything close to 30. never!
