FWIW, it's my corporate offices that do things that way.
Many of the larger corporations that I've worked for did things that way.


I've resorted to running the VPN within a VMware session.  My host can
access the local stuff while the guest only gets the VPN network.  And local
folder access.  Print to PDF in the guest & have the host print that.  It's
a work around for when corporate won't budge.
