so how did it end up for you? did you manage to fly back? I really don’t want to miss this internship opportunity thou but not sure about if lying is good...

 

A VPN either works or it doesn't. Whatever your "IT resources" are, you can't tell if the guy is really working from his home country or lying - they can at best check if his IP address is associated with a VPN server, but most VPN providers offer dozens of possible IP addresses and there's no "VPN servers IP addresses" list available anywhere.

 

yeah that is what i though as welll... i am probably gonna subscribe a good vpn server which offers me a list of ip addresses... from a tech perspective, do you think that work?

 

tbh I’m from China there’s only have one flight per week from where I m rn.... which is nearly impossible to get the ticket right now would def fly back under normal circumstances but in no way can I get a ticket rn....it’s not about the money at this point anymore...

 
  1. How expensive are the flights
  2. I would phone call the airline and see what can be done about getting it booked ASAP. Not sure what you mean by impossible if you said the plane goes there once a week. Try to have them put you on a waitlist to book you the ticket once there's an open spot if that's even possible.

Can relate. HR told me luckily I'm still in the country I'm studying in (somewhere EMEA), otherwise, I cannot do the internship bc they dont have a regional office/license in my home country to transfer the contract. But could you find the flight to London instead?
