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.

I haven't had the time, but I'd like to give Shadowsocks a go and see if that can break out of the vpn blockages.

The majority of my self-hosted services are vpn access only, and my phone is set to block non-vpn traffic so I notice in a hurry when my vpn drops out/can't connect.

/edit: I did give shadowsocks a go. It didn't get through unfortunately and it's password auth only, no key pairs or certificates. Got rid of it again.
