Hello!

I will move to Spain from Sweden & I will be studying in Alicante in January (2026) - May and then again through September to January (2027). Where’s the best way to look for housing? I understand that an apartment for myself basically will be impossible for €400-€700, so I think the best way is to rent a room through these dates.

I’ll be studying at the Universidad de Alicante & what I can see the best spot for walking distance to the school is San Vincente, but it doesn’t matter to me. I’m just wandering if it’s better to check with locals through facebook, or websites to avoid scams etc.

Thankful for the help.

Hi everyone,
I’m moving to Spain for 5 months for work/living, and due to strict location/IP requirements for my remote work, I need my laptop's internet traffic to look like it is coming directly from my home IP back in Sweden at all times.

I am not very tech-savvy, but I’ve been researching solutions on my own and came up with a hardware setup. Apologies in advance if any of this sounds dumb or if I'm overcomplicating things!
Here is the plan I came up with:

1. Buy two GL.iNet GL-A1300 (Slate Plus) travel routers.
2. Router 1 (Home/Sweden): Connect it to my home network in Sweden, set up Tailscale on it, and configure it to act as an Exit Node.
3. Router 2 (Spain): Take this with me to Spain, connect it to the local internet (via Wi-Fi/Repeater or ethernet), enable Tailscale, and set Router 1 as its Custom Exit Node.
4. Kill Switch: Enable "Block Non-VPN Traffic" on Router 2 so that if the tunnel or connection drops, my laptop will never accidentally leak a Spanish IP address.
5. Connect my work laptop directly to Router 2 via ethernet or Wi-Fi.

My questions for you guys:
Does this setup sound solid? Has anyone done something similar for remote work?

Is this the simplest and most reliable way to achieve a hardware-level home tunnel, or is there a better/easier approach for someone who isn't super technical?

Will the Kill Switch on the GL.iNet router actually guarantee 100% protection against IP leaks if the home connection momentarily drops or the router restarts?

I’d really appreciate any feedback, tips, or potential pitfalls I should watch out for before I buy the routers! Thanks!
