So a little while back, my location was officially switched from "Specific Office Location" to "Home Office", i.e. I was finally _officially_ full-time WFH. The other day, I had to visit one of our physical offices for the first time in years. What I didn't realise until that point was that I HAVE to work from home: I have to access a specific VPN in the US to do my work, but you can't connect to any VPNs from within our office.

Genius.

🤦🏻‍♂️

    Can't prolly connect to own IP. My servers atm also do not connect to their own remote. Loopback not configured.

    You could've used your phone as accesspoint prolly

    @retoor couldn't use phone as access point as they don't let you connect to non-corporate network if a corporate network is in range. One thing that didn't occur to me at the time was to try USB or Bluetooth tethering to my phone.

    But regardless... Kinda stupid to have to resort to these hacks in an office operated by your own company, imo.

    @alturnativ usb/Bluetooth tethering goes to far for me, would rather intimidate the it guy responsible for it. I'm 1.50, intimidation does take a lot of time for me btw
