    When I work from home, I can just not connect to the VPN and it’s fine. When I’m on site there’s no way around it

      You can’t just use a VPN to connect yourself to your home network?

          Even if they didn’t block it is it worth the risk? Sending mystery traffic home over a government network is always gonna be sus.

            Of course! I can check my email on my phone. It’s not a huge deal, just a slight inconvenience.

          Well I guess it is up to you. If it violates your employers policy then don’t do it obviously but you can adjust your VPN to make it hard to differentiate between normal traffic and VPN traffic. It can work in China so it probably can work for you.

          If your that concerned about your work don’t use your phone or at the very least don’t connect to WiFi

        I’ve had corporate LANs that I couldn’t route around to my wireguard servers from even using netmakers turn server stuff which punches through most shitty lans.

            Yes changed ports, I never went too hard on it as im not usually near an office and just used my hotspot for personal stuff.

            Also it’s never a good idea to try too hard circumventing corporate “security”
