usually the way people do this is just running a vpn onprem on company equipment

alternatively cloudflare zero trust

Thank you. I've been reading about cloudflare zero trust with some interest, but it seems like there are some shortcomings of the solution for my use-case. For example, cloudflare states they don't mask the ip you are coming from when connecting to external sites and services (unless I misunderstood somehow), which would put me in the position of having to whitelist an entire coworking space or coffee shop when I need to tell an external service how to allow my computer to connect.

Zscaler. Not b2c. Does exactly what you are trying to do, including private connections to third parties (and services "behind VPN" onprem). Not blacklisted/banned from major random sites for spam, etc.

This is not how any of our VPN or VPN like products behave today. There was a time when this was true for our consumer WARP app
