YSK: Browsing "ALL" at work might get you pulled into an office, even with NSFW off.

RCMaehl [Any]@lemmy.world to You Should Know@lemmy.world – 908 points –

Why YSK: It appears several Lemmy Instances are flagged as suspicious and at least 1 instance intentionally using the name of ransomware. A couple of the big enterprise monitoring suites (Fortiguard, ZScaler) will flag your account and may end up with you being pulled into an office for an explanation, or worse.

TL;DR: Keep browsing to your local instance at work for now.

On phone, use LTE. On computer set up a cheap Linux shell on your vsp of choice. Then use an ssh socks proxy for your browser.

I don't think your company computer allows for the same things my company computer does

Pretty sure you can create a tunnel without any admin rights or installing anything. Might require you to run ssh on port 443 if they are really strict.

That was my default when I worked. Just ran the proxy from work through my home network. Never was asked about.

and MAKE SURE it's set up to use DNS over that socks5 connection.
