Lifestyle Traveler,or Dual-HomeRemote Employee,ContractorWith the rise in remote work over the past years, many companies are flexible about location requirements, but as most remote workers are aware, it also comes with unique challenges to managing your career growth. It’s easy for managers and co-workers to assume that remote employees aren’t “working as hard”, or as dedicated to the company. While this perception can already be challenging to manage when sitting in a dedicated home office, it becomes nearly impossible if they know you’re checking in from tropical vacation towns. While your productivity may truly be at it’s best with sand at your feet – appearances still matter!
Why draw unneeded attention to your day-to-day location on work apps (like MS Teams or Slack) or with corporate IT, when the Signature VPN can help you appear at home?
Consultant,FreelancerYou have clients with deadlines. They’re your customers, so it should simply be a matter of your service level and deliverables, right? Unfortunately, many of us are all too familiar with those clients that need to feel like they can always “reach out and touch you”, like any regular employee, and it’s in your best interest to keep them happy. Logging into their systems from around the country, or world, can create headaches you don’t need.
Save yourself the hassle and use the Signature VPN to keep your IP as showing from your home or office when you interact. This provides the further value of avoiding issues where client’s systems may be access restricted to specific regions, or even individual IP addresses. No one wants to put clients through the additional trouble of whitelisting a new IP every time you switch locales.
Self-employede.g. Stock / Crypto TraderFor nomadic professionals – stock / forex / crypto traders, business owners, etc. Nothing is more essential than maintaining access to the key tools and platforms used in your work. Unfortunately, many finance platforms geo-block access or restrict functionality from outside the home country as a blanket security measure. Some have taken the further step of also blocking or even threatening account cancellations for attempting to use a commercial VPN service to login.
Why stress about having the tools you need on the go, or even the possibility of triggering potential KYC reviews just to travel? With Signature VPN, your IP address remains consistent from your home.
Lifestyle Traveler,or Dual-HomeLiving a life of constant travel and adventure can still have it’s challenges – issues with being able to access financial sites, government sites, or even just being able to keep up with streaming service programming from back home. You can pay monthly for a commercial VPN to solve some of these, or you can place one small device with a friend or family member and be permanently setup. With Signature VPN, you own your VPN, and can even comply with issues like Netflix requiring a single designated “home IP”.
For those with multiple homes, you likely share these same challenges, and maybe similar issues with remote or self-employed workers. Signature VPN can not only solve these, but can easily be adjusted to provide a permanent virtual network between your homes, allowing you to access resources like file shares, printers and cameras between your homes. RTH can even extend this across many properties or offices.

Learn more about the details that make the Signature VPN work for you.
The RTH Signature VPN solution utilizes two inexpensive but powerful routers running the proven OpenWRT platform to provide you the flexibility to connect through your home ISP from anywhere in the world. With an RTH configured handheld-sized travel router you can easily connect to the wireless or wired internet at a hotel, airbnb, second home, coffee shop or even over cellular data using a tethered phone.
Once connected, the RTH travel router will automatically create a private network with a secured VPN tunnel to the second RTH router at your home (your personal VPN “server”). You can then connect any wired or wireless device to the travel router’s private network and have all your data tunneled through your home IP address. To the outside world your connections look the same as if you were sitting in your living room!
This RTH solution can also enable you to connect to other devices on your home network just like you would at your place so you can avoid the security risks of exposing your home security cameras, Alexa, Google Home, printer or other devices to the public internet.
Don’t have a permanent “home” location to use a server? Don’t worry – RTH can build you a private cloud-based VPN server that provides many of the same benefits. Check out our Signature VPN + Cloud Server Package for details.
The RTH solutions utilize cutting edge opensource technologies such as WireGuard, ZeroTier, OpenWRT & Tailscale to provide the flexibility for any situation.
The RTH Signature VPN solution was first designed with the remote/work-from-home professional in mind. Most companies require you to connect to the company network using VPN software installed on your work device; and if you want to travel without raising questions that might make your co-worker jealous, you probably do not want your laptop’s IP address to show you connecting from Cancun.
You may have considered using a commercial VPN provider as a solution, but quickly ran into these roadblocks:
A commercial VPN provider typically uses a VPN client on your device to connect you to their service. Unfortunately you cannot connect 2 software VPN clients “through” each other on the same device. If you’re running the commercial VPN client then you can’t also use your company’s VPN client.
Most companies have restrictions or policies against installing non-approved software like a commercial VPN client on your work device. Some may also lock down the ability to install any external software on your work devices.
Many companies subscribe to IT security services that maintain comprehensive blacklists of commercial VPN provider IP ranges and can either block or raise an alert to connection attempts from these VPNs to their network (sometime used for hacking attempts).
Even without these subscriptions, it’s trivially easy for an IT employee to see if it’s a commercial VPN using a reverse IP lookup.
These challenges normally leave you stuck connecting directly from your travel location’s internet to your company’s VPN server, revealing your IP address and geo-location. So even if your company doesn’t block international connections, your traveling IP address is still going to be logged by your company’s VPN server and often also stored in your MS Teams or Active Directory employee login records.
The RTH Signature VPN solution solves all these challenges for you.
VPN all your devices through your home while traveling to protect your location and identity while on the go. Additionally, access files and devices on your home network. This works for any internet enabled device connected to your travel router without need for software installation.
Switch configurations to use a commercial VPN service when at home to protect your privacy and bypass geo-ip restrictions, such as watching shows or accessing game servers in other countries. This can apply to any device able to connect to your home router either wired or wireless, including smart TVs, streaming devices and gaming consoles. You can also customize your VPN policies per device or destination site.
We at RTH are huge supporters for technology learning and encourage those who feel comfortable in setting up their own self-hosted VPNs. That said, there are benefits to our experience having setup and supported hundreds of customers across the globe in many difference environments and unique circumstances.
In our experience, GL.iNet products are by far the best devices for self-hosted dual-router setups and are amazingly flexible devices for many different situations. Unfortunately, all this flexibility and options comes with the tradeoff of the devices not be optimized for a specific purpose by default. At RTH, we use both our first-hand and customer experiences, combined with our deep product knowledge as an official GL.iNet Business Partner to customize and optimize each device specifically for it’s purpose as a client, or as a server.
While we customize both your server and travel routers, we pay extra attention to your travel router(s), as this is the most critical component to keeping your location safe. For this router, we start by segmenting the router into two fully separated networks:
This network uses the local (e.g. hotel, ABnb) network IP address for connecting all your travel devices that do not need to be slowed down by going through the VPN. This allows you to use your personal devices at a new location without the hassle of connecting them each to a new host Wi-Fi network every time you change location. Just connect your travel router to the new location once and everything else comes online!
This has the additional benefit of protecting your personal devices from being exposed to other devices on the host’s network (hacking or malware from other guests or devices you don’t own).
This network is dedicated exclusively to the VPN tunnel and secured so that the only interface the network can communicate with is your VPN tunnel. Traffic on this LAN cannot connect to other devices using the router or even the router’s WAN port (internet) unless going through the VPN. This network cannot even reach the router’s web panel. This ensures there is no possibility of IP or DNS leaks on any protocol at any time. No more worries about leaks at router reboots, during network changes or even when connecting the router to “captive portal” logins! We also remove any internal signs of the router’s brand, so corporate software on your work device cannot tell you’re using a GL.iNet brand router.
Additionally we will configure your device’s LAN ports to your preference. Typically if you have a single LAN port (like the Beryl AX), we will embed it with the VPN network, but if you have multiple (like the Slate AX) we can assign one port to each network, or both ports to either one.
Note: If you ever want to use your router for another purpose or re-sell it later, you can clear all these customization with a simple device reset.
A kill switch prevents your VPN from leaking your travel IP if your VPN tunnel was to be somehow disrupted (like a server ISP outage) by locking down the traffic. While the stock feature is good, it has shown to have bugs in multiple firmware versions causing leaks with certain configuration conflicts, during reboots or when connecting to new networks. This is a trade-off reality of the stock firmware’s flexible design.
Our approach protects against these potential issues by securing at a deeper level and fully isolating your local VPN network from all communication except the VPN interface. The VPN network with your work devices is completely cut off unless the VPN tunnel is active and secure, no matter what other changes you are making to the router at the time.
At RTH, we customize your VPN server router’s firmware to minimize this, and in some cases also have methods to help control the timing of your home ISP IP rotations until off-work hours.
A proper VPN setup needs to ensure every LAN/WAN network on the home and client sides is setup properly or you can end up with IP and routing conflicts. Similarly, it’s easy to make mistakes with DNS that can end up leaking location data or with connection errors. With RTH, we have proven configurations that minimize the chance of these errors, no matter where you travel globally; and if you do run into an issue at a new location, you have experienced support on tap to help adjust.
Custom configurations for Wireguard, OpenVPN, Tailscale, ZeroTier & Shadowsocks. Sometime our customers are stuck with a restrictive ISP that does not provide public IPs or port forwarding, in which case you cannot use your home IP with the traditional Wireguard or OpenVPN VPN configurations. In these situations RTH has extensive experience using alternate technologies such as ZeroTier or Tailscale to achieve your same goals. This includes also includes custom “kill switch” methods for each scenario to keep your IP location safe. We also have proven GL.iNet configurations for bypassing some country-level firewalls that do no allow tradition VPN traffic across borders.
Worried about not being able to connect? In addition to the Wireguard & OpenVPN protocols, Signature VPN customers now get an additional backup VPN option using ZeroTier as part of our standard setup! ZeroTier runs on an entirely different technology than Wiregurard or OpenVPN protocols, so if you find yourself in a situation where your primary VPN cannot connect due to blocking by the country/network you are connecting from, then you will already have a built-in backup option to easily fallback to and continue to work securely. Given that ZeroTier uses a different protocol than normal VPNs, it can usually connect even from restrictive networks and countries. Not only will you have a backup VPN option for emergencies, you’ll also have a backup method to reach your home server’s Admin Panel from anywhere, even if your primary VPN is restricted. (China or North Korea travel is excluded as they require more advanced technologies to connect from.)
Many of our customers don’t want to spend hours learning and experimenting a new technology area and then *hoping* it’s set up right – especially when doing it wrong could put your income at risk. This is what RTH was built on – we have customers across many segments from engineers, finance/fintech, automotive, insurance, health education and even quite a few tech and software professionals that simply do not want to spend time learning a new area of networking. RTH’s approach only requires your guided hands-on setup for a few simple steps, and then we do all the setup & testing remotely. You don’t need to be “technical” beyond basic computer use and plugging things in.
We remotely setup and test your devices end-to-end to ensure functionality, and then provide you with both a customized User Guide and thorough online personal training session to walk through using the devices step-by-step via screenshare.
We encourage every customer to test using their devices locally (e.g. from a coffee shop) prior to doing any real travel. Through this process we are available to help if you have questions or get stuck – including thorough instruction on how to connect your client router to networks that have captive portal authentication (e.g. corporate chain coffee shops, airports and many hotels).
Ensure the RTH solution fits your overall use-case & needs with a quick review of your connectivity basics.

Don’t have a home location, or don’t think it’s sufficiently reliable? RTH still has you covered. Check out our Signature VPN + Cloud Server alternative.
The only unique hardware you will need for RTH to be ready to set you up are 2 devices. One to function as your VPN “server” at home, and the second as your VPN “client” travel companion router. As a consulting service, RTH does not sell hardware directly but strongly recommends specific models of GL.iNet routers for our solution as powerful and reliable devices at affordable pricing. These routers combine cutting edge features with the premier OpenWRT router operating system, providing the proven security and flexibility for RTH’s unique VPN solution; which is why RTH has become an official GL.iNet Service Partner.
We can support devices such as Raspberry Pi as your “home” router, and may be able to support you with other router brands running a modern version of the OpenWRT or DD-WRT operating system (Asus, TP-Link, etc), but cannot guarantee the same secure functionality on untested devices. Please contact us if you’d like to discuss additional hardware options for a Signature VPN package.
We recommend these devices based on years of “hands on” reliability across hundreds of RTH customers and the amazing flexibility for wired, wireless and cellular-tethered connection situations when traveling. For self-hosted VPN setups you will need at least 1 home (VPN server) router and 1 travel (VPN client) router.
For most customers, a Brume 3 (when available) or Beryl AX server and Slate AX travel router is the best mix of price & performance if you do not intend to replace your home ISP router.
For many customers, your home (VPN server) ISP upload speed will be the limiting VPN speed factor, not the hardware. A typical work laptop is not regularly using more than 15-20 Mbps for general office work (video/audio calls, email, messaging, etc), so a 300 Mpbs hardware speed limit is much more than sufficient for an individual VPN setup.

Our most popular option! The standard RTH Signature VPN Support Package for customers who have purchased the Recommended hardware above. RTH will have you ready to travel fast.
Upon order completion, you will receive an email from RTH to schedule time for an online / phone session to get you started.
Includes the RTH Signature Service Guarantee!
When you need an alternative to a physical location for your “home” VPN server, the Cloud Server option is the next best choice. In this case, instead of using a router as your home-country server, RTH will guide you through setting up a personal account with a cloud hosting provider, and build you a Virtual Private Server (VPS) that your travel router can connect to from anywhere. While using a data center IP is a bit less “stealthy” than using a residential IP address, it still retains the key value that your IP will not be from a known VPN provider, so it will not be obvious you are using a VPN service, and not be included in automated VPN blacklists.
Note: This is a much larger time investment for RTH, as we are building you an entire Private Could VPN Server that you will own!

RTH is confident that we will get you working using one of our several tested configurations and VPN solutions. We want you to share this confidence with our guarantee that if RTH is unable to successfully test that your Signature VPN solution is working as expected at the time of initial setup, then we will refund you 100% of your support package.*
The Fine Print:
* Refund limited to the cost paid to RTH for the applicable Signature VPN Support Package service. Costs for customer-owned hardware purchased separate of RTH remain the responsibility of the customer.
* Success is defined by RTH being able to test your routers are able to create a secure client/server VPN connection between your RTH configured home location and an external location upon setup completion and customer training. RTH cannot guarantee security for improper use or device configuration changes following customer delivery. Assumption of any potential compliance risks for using a VPN related to employer or service provider policies and local law are solely a customer responsibility.
* While our VPN solutions have proven to be compatible for hundreds of clients working remotely using corporate VPNs and work applications, we cannot guarantee compatibility for all circumstances. It’s possible some unique applications may have requirements that are not compatible to run inside some types of VPN tunnel configurations. We ask that you notify your RTH consultant if you believe you may have unique business application requirements so we can help you test accordingly during setup.
* For your own protection, we recommend you allow at least a day to perform our guided testing process in your local area before embarking on travel where your VPN may be critical for personal or business needs.
Be ready to travel in a week! Our process is simple and designed to get you enabled and secured as fast as possible. This section provides detail on start-to-finish steps of an RTH Signature VPN engagement.
Our Signature Guarantee ensures that if we can’t create a solution that works for you, that we refund 100% of our service. So, it’s in our mutual interest to be certain we can deliver from the start!
This is how we can determine if a personal VPN can meet your specific needs. In our initial call we’ll evaluate how to create a solution tailored to your situation. We will discuss:
1. Your VPN requirements / purpose: Are you: a) Working remotely for an employer and will also have a corporate VPN client for your work device? b) An investor/trader that will need access to geo-restricted brokerage/crypto portals and two-factor authentication devices? c) An online gamer? d) A leisure traveler that wants to maintain access to home-country streaming content and websites? (Or some combination of these?)
2. Your intended travel devices: Do you have an employer provided laptop? Employer provided mobile phone or hardware two-factor authentication (2FA) devices? Do you use a personal laptop and/or phone for work with company software installed, or an employer provided mobile SIM card?
3. Your current Internet Service Provider (ISP) setup: What internet speed does your home ISP connection support and are there are any restrictions or unique technical challenges? This could include port-forwarding restrictions, carrier grade NAT (CGNAT) or bandwidth caps / speed restrictions.
4. Your intended travel locations: While our solutions are designed to work mostly worldwide in multiple settings (hotels, apartments, Airbnbs, etc), there are some destinations that present unique challenges. With years of global expat experience ourselves, we’ve likely encountered it before and are very familiar with the “little” details that can make all the difference in keeping you critically connected.
Gathering this information will enable us to determine the optimal type of configuration for your needs. By using flexible and leading-edge opensource secure technologies such as WireGuard, ZeroTier & Tailscale, combined with our deep router expertise as an official GL.iNet Value Added Service Partner, we have yet to find a personal VPN challenge we could not work through using these devices.
During this conversation we will also be able to recommend the right hardware investment, saving you time and money by purchasing the right devices for your needs the first time.
We look forward to talking with our customers and provide our 15 minute Personal VPN Fit Assessment at no cost! You can submit a question or book a call using the Contact Us button below.
We believe our customers should own their end-to-end solution. The RTH VPN process provides you a final solution that you fully own, without any subscriptions or dependence on paid third parties. This means you will have only 2 one-time investments: 1) Your hardware devices, and; 2) The one-time RTH service setup and support package.
1. Your VPN hardware devices: A typical Signature VPN solution relies on two highly configurable (OpenWRT linux based) routers. One that will remain fixed in your home country (the VPN server) and one that you travel with (the VPN client). You have total freedom of where you want to purchase the devices and you will retain total control of the devices following the RTH setup. We can work with customers on a variety of devices you may already own (e.g. as Raspberry Pi, linux mini-pc, linux NAS, etc), but if starting with a clean slate, we know our Standard or Budget hardware recommendations are nearly guaranteed to work for you – and most of all – proven to be secure.
2. The RTH Support service: The service package is for the full end-to-end setup and testing of the entire VPN solution, plus our personal user training, our custom RTH user guide and personal follow-up support as you travel. RTH is primarily a convenience and “peace of mind” service. We do have some “secret sauce” in that we use our in-depth device expertise as a GL.iNet official partner to secure your devices beyond what’s available in the standard device settings, but this is us being “extra” about your data security and adding some additional capabilities. We are experienced expats ourselves and know how critical it is to “do it right”. Our primary value proposition is that you don’t need to worry about becoming an expert in technical details to be safe. We work directly with you to configure your home modem/network (if needed) and get your devices initially online. From that point we login remotely to the devices and do all the customization and testing without taking up your time. When setup & testing is complete, we will notify you and setup a time to go through personal testing and training on how to confidently use the devices as you travel.
Already know this is the solution for you? Don’t have time to wait? You can purchase your hardware and our Signature VPN Support package immediately to ensure we can schedule your setup as fast as possible – no need to schedule a Fit Assessment first. The RTH portion of this is risk-free as we will refund 100% of the RTH service package purchase price if we find we cannot make the VPN solution work for you. This is the fastest way to engage with RTH as we are normally booked at least a week out. (We can try for 48 hour turn-around in critical situations if you already have your hardware ready – just let us know in the order checkout notes.)
RTH will be ready to get you enabled fast once your hardware arrives. From this point we go to work for you. The remainder is simple:
1. Customer device enablement call: RTH will schedule a time with your (typically ~45 minutes) in which we will guide you through plugging your new devices in, connecting cables and getting them online. In this call we will also guide you step-by-step through any configuration that needs done on your home ISP modem to enable port-forwarding or other settings (via Google Meet screen sharing). This does not require any “technical” expertise on your part.
2. RTH custom device configuration: Once the devices are online and accessible to RTH, we do all the device setup and customization remotely while you go about your day. We will configure both devices specific to your situation, secure them and test them. We will be able to verify your VPN is securely accessible externally and test the speeds you can expect from outside the country. We will then notify you once the devices are ready (typically within a couple hours following the call). During this call we will also work with you to schedule a follow-up training call (~30-45 minutes).
3. User Training & Support: Immediately following device configuration we will send you our custom RTH User Guide that is tailored specifically to your devices and contains all the links and passwords (wifi, admin, etc) for your devices. You own them and you can control them. On our subsequent training call we will walk you through accessing the devices and how to use your travel router when travelling. This call will also include:
4. Real-time User Travel Support and Follow-up: If you desire, RTH will schedule with you a time to ensure we can be available on the day you arrive at your first travel location and ensure you are able to get connected. We want you to be able to focus on settling into your new destination and not stressed about getting connected. We have experience getting your travel router online from apartments, hotels, airbnbs, resorts, etc – wired, wireless, or even over mobile data if necessary.
RemoteToHome.io is an IT consulting company focused on providing specialized and affordable support to individuals and business in the areas of private VPNs, networking and remote access.
As a consulting company, our focus is purely on providing quality specialized consulting and support services to our customers instead of hardware logistics. We want to “stay in our lane” and let our vendor partners do what they do best. This provides the additional benefit that any hardware service or warranty issues can be handled directly with the manufacture instead of a middleman.
Also, while we strongly recommend GL.iNet hardware based on our positive experiences with their devices, we can support our solutions on several varieties of hardware and vendor platforms.
No. Our Signature VPN solution can work with a variety of hardware, including many routers that run OpenWRT or DD-WRT software, a Raspberry Pi or even a linux-based PC (for the “home” server).
We provide our hardware recommendations based on our experience with devices that are proven to supply the power, flexibility and reliability to give you top performance at an affordable price point. This testing is what enables us to provide our our Service Guarantee when using these recommended devices.
If you have existing devices you would prefer to use for a Signature VPN setup, then we’d recommend selecting our Personal VPN Fit Assessment option so our RTH consultant can explore the device capabilities with you prior to investing in a Signature VPN package.
Upon purchase of an RTH service you will receive an email to schedule a time that your consultant can have an initial call with you.
For our Home or Business Support services this will include a needs analysis and solution sizing estimate.
For a typical Signature VPN setup, the process will involve an initial call to understand your current home network, guide you through physical connection of the routers and work with you to configure your home modem.
Once the devices are accessible, then your consultant can perform the router configuration and initial testing process remotely and notify you once complete (usually a few hours).
Your consultant will then schedule a follow-up call for final tweaks based on your preference and train you on using the devices (very simple).
We will also encourage you to do a “practice run” by connecting your travel router from a nearby remote location with wifi (e.g. coffee shop or a friend’s house), prior to using it on a trip. Our consultant can schedule a time to be available for this.
We can work with you over a variety of communication channels: phone, video call, WhatsApp, TeamViewer, Google Remote Desktop, etc. Video or desktop sharing can help make initial setup and modem configuration much easier.
No. Your RTH consultant will only need access to your devices for the initial setup, configuration and testing. A final part of our training will be to show you how to remove all RTH access and change passwords. Once setup, the Signature VPN is a solution that you own and does not rely on any services or infrastructure from RTH to continue operating.
Some of our customers do choose to leave the devices accessible to RTH for a while so we can more easily support them when they initially travel in case of issues or questions, but given the device’s ease-of-use, most are comfortable using them solo after a few times.
RTH is of course always available to support our customers under our Home Support plans for assistance with upgrades or additional configurations; and while we do not operate a 24/7 tech support business, our consultants do leave you with personal contact information and always try to be available to our customers in the case of an emergency that would prevent you from working while on travel.
The RTH Signature VPN is a personal Virtual Private Network solution. This VPN solution creates an encrypted tunnel between your remote location and your home, allowing all your internet traffic to be transparently routed through your home IP address.
This differs from a typical commercial VPN service where you pay a subscription fee to route all your traffic through the provider’s external VPN servers. These services provide benefits that solve for different challenges; but they all share the drawback that it is easy for the websites or company network you connect with to detect you are using a VPN service.
The RTH Signature VPN is not a commercial VPN service offering. We are a consulting service that helps configure both your home network and two unique VPN devices you own to automatically create the secure tunnel and be easily used wherever you travel. With RTH, we get you setup, and then you own an end-to-end VPN tunnel from your travel location of choice back to your own home.
With a typical commercial VPN service, you usually pay for a subscription and install a software program (VPN client) on your devices to connect them to any of the provider’s VPN servers using an encrypted tunnel. These VPN services have many benefits:
As answered in the “What is the Signature VPN?” The RTH Signature VPN is primarily focused on solving for a different challenge. We provide a solution for your IP address to appear from home when you’re actually elsewhere… but wait, we can do both!
RTH’s solution offers flexibility to solve for many privacy challenges:
RTH Personal Support consulting service can also help you configure diverse options such as connecting separate homes into a single network. The power of the RTH solution is we setup the devices you own with maximum functionality, giving you significant flexibility and options.
RTH is committed to customer satisfaction. This includes empowering you with the knowledge of what your VPN can and cannot provide, so you can make informed decisions on how you responsibly use your tech.
The RTH Signature VPN can transparently encrypt and tunnel (mask) the original location of the internet traffic from any networked devices you own when it comes to connecting over the internet. This is sufficient for most external services that rely on your IP address for geo-location; but there are some limits that no VPN solution can tackle when it comes to location awareness at a device administrator level:
While we have customers that continue to successfully work remotely while traveling for years without issue, we strive to provide our customers with full transparency to all technical considerations.
These are some other highlights we feel anyone should be aware of when considering remote travel plans:
RTH consultants are not qualified to provide legal advice and will not knowingly support or condone violation or circumvention of any country’s laws.
