Which VPN can I use from abroad to access a company computer? I'm also using workspot cloud pc plus company laptop as the remote.

I do not need a super fast connection, but I need to appear inside the US to anyone in the organization.

It's a little unclear on exactly how your company is setup, but seems that you aren't REQUIRED to use VPN for connecting remotely. Normally, that is handled by the IT section in charge of firewall and would provide the proper VPN client (Cisco AnyConnect for example). But if you're just need to show an IP presence in the US (probably due to blocking IPs originating from other countries) then a common home use VPN should work.

I've heard good things of Nord VPN and I personally use PIA but believe PIA was bought by another company a year or so ago but I was still under my 3yr subscription so I haven't changed. So I just did quick google and they provided this list with info https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-vpn-services

I've used DUO Mobile for two-factor authentication but I don't believe they offer VPN service

Have you thought about asking your IT department? You may be asking the wrong questions in the first place.

Yes I've asked and it gets complicated.

My laptop has a HQ VPN app but I'm not asked to use it. I simply connect wifi and go.

One option i hoped would work is to use one of the mini VPN travel routers

Your IT dept should be defining your VPN back to company resources. I'm not sure what to say if they are not, other than please have them email me at my screen name at GMail.
