    If you’ve connected your personal laptop to your work wifi, they 100% can see all your browsing history (specifically whats passed through their network).

    Hell, I only run a simple homelab and I can see the exact traffic/browsing history of every device on my home network. I’m only tracking via dns traffic, but your https traffic can even be intercepted and decrypted pretty easily. So don’t even trust that.

    This doesn’t require installing anything on your device to fully monitor you.

      Yes but all we see is a MAC address and the device ip. Also we have dns-over-https and No other identifier is parsed through. So we can see and block someone browsing porn on the guest Wi-Fi, but we’d never know who it was.

        Your ethics goes out the window when being told to do something by your employer.

        Maybe you try to look out for the user, but it’s completely wrong that employees should have to trust you to do that.

        “Company being protected from misuse” is a blanket term for survellience, same as “fighting terrorism”.

        I still stand by my opinion. Companies need to trust employees and not run survellience programs against them. It’s just wrong.

      Sure but I work from home. Don’t use their wifi except when I’m in the office. I could connect to a VPN and they would also see a connection to a VPN, but I don’t care enough to do that.

      But when I’m at home, working on my computer, they don’t see anything.
