Why YSK: It appears several Lemmy Instances are flagged as suspicious and at least 1 instance intentionally using the name of ransomware. A couple of the big enterprise monitoring suites (Fortiguard, ZScaler) will flag your account and may end up with you being pulled into an office for an explanation, or worse.

TL;DR: Keep browsing to your local instance at work for now.

      No! If you’re doing personal stuff use your cell phone data. Do not use work Wi-Fi, do not use the work network, use your cell phones personal cell phone data plan. Do not transit personal stuff over the corporate network. It will be logged it will be monitored and there may be questions.

      At the very least have your phone use a VPN if you’re going to use the Wi-Fi.

      This is also managed by IT and is fully traceable as well.

      I have unlimited data on my cell and just stay off WiFi altogether. The price premium is worth it to me for this one specific reason alone, let alone the other benefits/convenience.

      Don’t use work computer or networks for personal use. Zero benefits really and at least some risk.
