    My work has a 100% mandatory vpn and mitm proxy for ssl scanning. I just use parsec to view my laptop from my desktop and browse what I want on my actual personal computer

      These are worse than useless. They are anti safety. If this box or its private keys get compromised ALL tls traffic of all employees is immediately plaintext.

      Any company that buys one of these appliances from mcafee or whatever is asking for it (losing most/all their secrets)

        That sort of thing is required for a lot of enterprise certifications. When you do work for government, healthcare, banking, etc. stupid “security” is mandatory for checking off compliance requirements. Not that any of it has to be in any way effective…

          when breaking the internet and end-to-end encryption are part of any kind of “enterprise certification” that certification is worthless (or worse) and probably some kind of chinese or russian (or the CIA or whoever, certainly not your friend) psyop. Only a mindless idiot would implement it.

      Luckily my work hasn’t disabled the remote desktop application protocol. So I do the same, but without parsec.

      Can’t install parsec on the work computer, and the web app displays a black screen.
