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.

    By all means, please do. IT departments can look for this type of traffic and report it to HR, which saves the company money.

    I find it funny that people seem to think that browsing reddit at work is ok, as long as it’s not porn. I don’t think employers see it that way.

    Who cares what the employees think?

    I would think most employees would want to keep their jobs. Maybe you know more than I do.

    Then hide it

    I don’t know who you think I am, but I’m not in a position to hide some random person’s internet browsing on the web. I’ve already recommended options to avoid being traced.

    Think to yourself, are there any possible other scenarios in which the person I’m talking to is not the boss of other people? Maybe this person has been employed and wanted to hide their own habits.. maybe this person used to be in a position where they could monitor and / or control internet access.. maybe this person snitched on their workers, maybe they didn’t.

    But you’re right, I’m probably the boss. I’m probably actually Elon Musk.

    Wanna buy a shitty low poly “truck”?
