VPN Question ... Never set one up using physical VPN routers and I have some issues...

I am needing to spend the next few months at home, but I also need to be able to do my job at the same time. Normally this would not be an issue, but my job requires me to log into a particular online service that only allows an account to be accessed by exactly one WAN IP address...

I need a way to be able to set up a new computer at home that connects via the internet through VPN to my office network (so that I can share their IP) but still have my regular home computer access the service as normal.

Basically :

Computer "A" : Is at home. Looks like it is home.

Computer "B" : Is at home. Looks like it is at the office.


I can't use programs like TeamViewer, LogMeIn, and RealVNC because I am not allowed to access the COMPUTER at my office ... just the network itself. I know.

I was looking at something like this : https://smile.amazon.com/B007B60SCG ... but I don't know if it will work. I don't need to be able to access my company's files - just their IP address. And if I go with this wouldn't I need to make this the primary router?


Am I overthinking this??? Is there a simple solution? I'm not the greatest with networking.
