VPN 4tw.

When I read stuff like this, I feel there is a whole part of Lemmy that I am totally clueless about.

I have no idea even where the areas that OP is talking about even exist, and with the way the servers seem to go down all the time or I need to reload a browser, it makes it that much more difficult to wander around and get to know the place because you never know if a certain page is empty because its really empty or it just didn't load correctly.

Good to know, thank you for posting this. I'll keep this is mind to avoid any issues.

And to everyone else wondering why you would use company computers to browse the Internet instead of just using your phone, some jobs out there do not allow you to do so. My employer for instance, has banned using phones everywhere except for the break rooms and offices. We can still have our phones on us for emergencies and take phone calls, but otherwise we are not allowed to have them our. If we have to take a phone call we have to exit the work area and move to a nearby break room to do so. We have been specifically told (in writing) to use the computers instead when there is nothing to do. We have even been told YouTube is fine as long as there is no work. Because of that, I do a ton of personal web browsing on company computers since my job is so feast or famine so having information like this is helpful.

Yeah I was gonna say, don’t be browsing anything non work related directly on your work machine. I usually VPN to home then browse through RDP. If your work has screen monitoring software just browse from a personal device.

Yeah I get domain blocked popups sometimes while browsing at work. I mainly see that it's happening for lemmy.today.
