I dunno man. I'm convinced that pretty much any mention of VPN these days is just an ad for vpns. That's with this article looks like.
My workplace requires VPN for Web sites that are authenticated, require 2FA and are encrypted. It's infuriatingly stupid. I feel like someone higher up got sold a useless contract by a good VPN salesperson.
Most likely all connections are run through the gateway of the company allowing them to apply security to all web traffic on their clients.
It might hinder you but there is plenty of method to this madness.
Ya that just sounds like good practice for internal services.
@[email protected] Maybe see if you can use a FIDO2 device like yubikey for 2fa
