ProxyBox for remote work

Why remote workers feel this

Enterprise security systems are tuned for one assumption: your employees sit at the same IP every day. Anything that breaks that assumption costs you time. ISPs rotating your home IP every few weeks breaks it quietly and often.

Symptoms remote workers describe every day:

• Okta / Azure AD prompts for "new location verification" multiple times a week.
• Duo push notifications that wouldn't normally appear are constant.
• IT asks you to "confirm your home IP" because an allowlist expired.
• GitHub Enterprise flags pushes from "suspicious IPs."
• AWS IAM policies that restrict SSO by source IP keep failing.
• Microsoft Teams keeps renegotiating the session after IP shifts.

What a home egress IP does for the work stack

Deployment for a remote worker

1. Plug ProxyBox into your home router.
2. Install ProxyBox Connect and keep your home ProxyBox online.
3. Use proxy credentials in a supported work tool, or use a dual-radio travel box with Private Wi-Fi — My home.
4. Supported traffic then exits through your home connection, whether you are at the kitchen table or a coworking space.

Total setup: 5-10 minutes. No IT involvement required unless you want them to explicitly allowlist your home IP.

Security posture for employers

If you run a security team and are evaluating whether to approve employee use of ProxyBox, here's the honest case:

• All egress from the employee's laptop terminates at their home router, same as if they were physically at home.
• Employee's actual location is their home IP, enforceable via DLP tools that look at source IP.
• Device is auditable: admin dashboard shows connected clients, traffic volume, uptime.
• Offboarding: factory reset wipes the device in 30 seconds. No residual access.
• HTTPS content remains encrypted to its destination while using proxy access. Plain HTTP is not suitable for sensitive work, and employer security policies still apply.
