Dear Lucas Jeff,
Welcome to the Colombia forums of Expat.com ...
I have used my laptop(s) on trips to Colombia and
in particular Medellin, with VPN enabled .. or
turned off.
The Paisa capital is set up to accommodate
digital nomads, so if your particular VPN is not
producing the result you want, you should be able
to find assistance to log on and do your work.

I concur. Colombia has not implemented "The Great Firewall" for purposes of internet censorship. Therefore, you should have no problem doing virtual calling or other internet based activities, apropos for selling insurance. Of course it is worth mentioning, that to acquire cabled internet service under your own name, you would require a cedula.
