Work implemented a new restrictions and I'm absolutely tired of having this machine on my desk. It needs to be connected to VPN at all times and cannot be RDP/VNC into it.

I'm looking for under $400
Accessed via local network
Low latency at 1080p (50hz or higher)
Can be accessed either like RDP or in a web browser (like Chrome remote desktop)

Any recommendations or is piKVM really my best option?

At the risk writing an unpopular opinion, circumventing your company IT and security policies is probably not a great idea .

If you can't tolerate using what's provided, use feedback mechanisms and try to improve UX, otherwise change jobs. You're putting yourself and your company at risk by hacking around the "approved" remote access solution.
