    Everybody has a cell phone nowadays. There’s no excuse not to use your cell phone for private stuff. In fact don’t use the company Wi-Fi. You must use the company Wi-Fi then you must use a VPN

    But no excuse anymore not to use your phone, you don’t need to use the word computer to browse, send emails, flirt, whatever

          If only it was that easy…

          Tried that. And openvpn tun+tap configs, Various ports incl 443, even shadowsocks. None of it gets through.

              I’ve done both. I wrote my own scripts to generate the WG config files to handle variations in configure I needed to make for my different networks (masking, IPv6, cross multiple WG networks).

              After converting to Tailscale, WG is just an extra level of hassle I can now easily avoid.

        Mine does. They also keep an eye on it because I had gotten through it and that only worked a few days before it was blocked too. Didn’t want to press my luck after that.

        Not sure why you’re down voted. Yes some definitely do. You could get around it by hosting your own VPN on 443 or something but some do lock it down.

        Their network, their rules. Makes sense.

      You must use the company Wi-Fi then you must use a VPN

      The company VPN or the client VPN, sadly

        I mean if your personal device is attached to a work network use a always on personal VPN.

        If you can’t for whatever reason then don’t connect to the wifi!

      Everybody has a cell phone

      All of my colleagues have work provided phones and laptops. They do all their personal shit on these devices (they don’t have their own)

      They think i’m a huge weirdo for having my own personal devices… “Why waste money? Work gives us computer/phone… Lol, you carry two phones like a drug dealer?”

        it’s one thing if they pay for them but if they are actually company devices that’s fucking weird

          IT: “You’ve been fired. Please return your laptop…”

          “But how do i retrieve all my personal files?”

          IT: [Shrug emoji]

            Like IT gives you any time to get anything off a corporate-owned device.

            When I got laid off, IT sent a bullet to my laptop immediately kicking me off and completely locking me out of it.

            I was supposed to have another 4 days to transition my work. I contacted IT and was told once the bullet goes out, that’s it. Any and all access to everything has been terminated. Might as well just go home and enjoy the extra 4 days because no one’s going to undo a bullet going off early unless it comes from the C-suite. So I did.

        I would love to see the look on your friends faces if they ever got caught doing something they shouldn’t have on company property.

        Just tell them “I don’t want to spend company’s resources for my own private life.”

        The only way is to give them back that guilt and fear they are feeling.

        WTF? What country? Even at jobs where I was given a phone no one felt like ditching their personal devices.

          I suspect its a millenial thing…

          A few of us old guys keep personal devices… Our young colleages just expect the company to provide devices for them and never have to buy their own
