minus-squareNewNewAugustEast@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoWhy does anyone need to know where I am? Makes zero sense. And luck has nothing to do with working from home. Also, I remote into work. There are no work owned devices at the places I choose to work from. So the only locations they have are Azure, or the data center that houses a desktop environment depending on where I am remoting into. This is a stupid useless feature that if you work remotely correctly only introduces more problems.

minus-squareNewNewAugustEast@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 month agoWhat VM? Or Which VM I should say I guess. You are saying the VM on the WVD would report my IP location I am connecting from?
minus-squareGalapagon@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoYeah, when you connect to the VM it still needs to know where to send packets to, your source IP is still available. Unless you’re running a personal vpn before your corporate traffic.
