When working from home, can they see me
surf the web and OT? Am connected to work computer and can toggle/minimize out of remote desk top connection and open a webpage and surf the web and OT. Can they monitor that?
*working on own home personal computer not a work issued one.
thanks
Depends on how you connect, no?
If he isn’t tunneling or VPN’ing in, can they still see him?
Yeah, it really depends. Generally speaking they can, but if you only have one subnet at work, then you don’t need to use their gateway – you can use your own. But by default, it goes through them.
If you are using the built-in Windows VPN app, I believe the default setting is use the remote default gateway like said above…
You can change that setting in the config, but it may be needed for certain tasks… For example, when I work at home I need to use my works gateway to send email.
thank again all, guess i’m gonna have to stop surfing or work on the desktop and surf on the laptop
see ya
Yeah, whenever using VPN just assume that all traffic is visible to your company. It might not be, but this assumption will always keep you safe.
If you’re not VPNing into your office at all they’ll have no idea as long as you’re not doing the surfing from the server you’re remote desktopped to.
Check your default gateway after you connect to work, if its the gateway on your office’s network they can see everything you’re doing, if its your local router on your local network they can’t. Pretty much as simple as that.
