I work on a corporate laptop that has an infamous root CA certicate installed, which allows the company to intercept all my browser traffic and perform a MITM attack.

Ideally, I’d like to use the company laptop to read my own mail, access my NAS in my time off.

I fear that even if I configure containers on that laptop to run alpine + wireguard client + firefox, the traffic would still be decrypted. If so, could you explain how the wireguard handshake could be tampered with?

What about Tor in a container? Would that work or is that pointless as well?

Huge kudos if you also take the time to explain your answer.

EDIT: A lot of you suggested I use a personal device for checking mails. I will do that. Thanks for your answers!

      Let’s assume it’s allowed. Obviously it’s untrusted hardware, but for widely issued corporate PCs, what’s the risk that there would be some hardware snooping going on if you controlled the OS?

        The “snooping” is called a good security policy. Security should always come first.
