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?

    you’re gonna need to just use a KVM. If the company has policies on RDP and VNC, and you’re attempting to breach those, you’re opening a door for issues under the tech policies you likely signed or agreed to when you started.

    I’ll be the first to tell you, as someone in cybersec, that while we aren’t exactly always proactively looking to bust up employees about conduct, when its clear someone repeatedly attempts bypass, we eventually send it off to managers for review. Some of them wind up in worse situations, with confidential management-lead investigations into them, email interception, desktop monitoring, etc… It’s a lot of bullshit for a workaround…
