Company: Govt says you should stay home to prevent spreading the disease. PLZ WFH.

People start to WFH.
VPN gets overwhelmed.

Me: Cannot connect to VPN.

Boss: Then go in the office!!!

Me: Uhh...

Similar to my experience. I mentioned the VPN servers maybe getting overloaded to a coworker in the IT department the Friday before enforced WFH started. He said they'd upgraded the server hardware so there wouldn't be a problem.

Monday rolls around and the VPN servers crash before 10 AM. I spend most of the day reconnecting and hoping I won't get kicked off before I can clone a repo from our git server.

Use ZeroTier

So glad the repo I work on isn't hosted internally
