I have been working from home for years and my employer is not watching our screen. However about a decade ago we received a company wide email from an admin reminding everyone that they can see DNS requests when we're connected to the VPN.
Thats why i have a laptop for work, solely for work, nothing but work right next to my big rig
Wait they didn't give you a laptop? If they want you to work remotely they really should be giving you a device.
Nah, i actually wanted to use my own equipment (tax purposes). All the shit is web based anyway
Sounds like he's remoting into the computer in the office from another computer at home (pretty common in IT since you probably have admin tools perfectly configured on that computer and specifically configured for its network config) but with Windows Remote Access it lets the person physically at the computer see everything by default. But i would really hope that someone in IT would be painfully aware of why you shouldn't do sensitive personal browsing on a work computer or a work network
pretty common in IT
I've never heard of anyone in IT regularly remoting to their work computer.
If we remote anywhere it is to a jump host, and those are terminal servers, so no monitor connected.
Yeah this is a pretty weird setup they've got going on.
Like you say they're going to be remoting onto their work computer and then having their remote connection remote onto another remote terminal server.
It's a holographic holodeck all over again.
I think it's kind of an old school way of doing things. My old sys admin boss did that every day up until her retired.
