This is another reason why I Remote Desktop to corporate machines from my personal ones. Fully insulated access to corporate stuff (I turn off file and printer sharing, obviously, although they’re usually disabled anyway), but I get to use my monitors, keyboard, mouse, etc. and don’t have to physically plug in anything.

I would like to do the same but I don’t want to run my employers vpn software on my machine (they don’t need to see my local machines network traffic). Does your work not use a vpn?

Depends on the VPN; at a previous job that used one, it was anyconnect, so I could just use openconnect on my local machine and never need anything that the company truly controlled locally

You could run it all inside a virtual machine.

Yes, but I wonder how invasive something like Citrix Remote Client is? I wonder what it sends back to the remote server?
