That’s not how vpns work.
Just because the employer “not wanting” something to be done without specifying, is grounds for a lawful termination without chance to fight it??
They are all available for offline viewing tho
Well I mean they can just assume it’s a VPN if theres only like 1 up addr you connect to and there’s a lot of bandwidth through it
I was going by Baylor University and the US Copyright Office and the US Copyright Code as well as Harvard as well.
Educational use of things is fair use, there are guidelines to be followed but it’s hardly a “myth”
But I guess some guy on reddit supercedes that
They can still capture and log DNS no matter the VPN used, its very telling to see what people do when they think they are safe. The person can even run web tests and it’ll show DNS server X from VPN Y but the quarries still hit the domain DNS server and its all logged.
Does the VPN client change the DNS permanently? Does it simply route it when the VPN is connected and when disconnected it goes back to your local DNS?
I ask because my employer allows the use of the VPN on personal devices to RDP to network servers.
oh so using modern vpn clients, it doesnt use the DHCP that has been assigned but the DNS traffic routes through the VPN?
Google “At Will Employment”. It’s really at the employer’s whim to keep or fire you. So yeah, “At WHIM employment”.
Yeah, unfortunately most of the time, the law is in favor of companies. It sucks, but honestly, everybody thinks they’re “wrongfully terminated” when they’re fired. If the law favored the employee all the time, no company could fire bad employees without worrying about lawsuits.
There have to be extremely specific and severe situations to justify a real wrongful termination suit.
Definitely not all of them, but there’s a pretty good selection
Go ahead and contact them I have already and they already said no because the Netflix account is a private entity account and you are then broadcasting it to the classroom as an individual. The exception is a few documentaries.
Any proper VPN will also prevent DNS leaks. Citation needed, unless you’re saying a nation-state is decrypting the VPN traffic, in which case, it doesn’t matter anyway.
No. If the DNS query is encapsulated in the VPN like everything else, there’s nothing you can log.
For example when I connect to my VPN, I have an address in 172.20.20.0/24. Once the connection is established, my VPN client can override my DNS to use 172.20.20.1, which is the VPN server through the tunnel. My ISP can’t differentiate DNS queries from the rest.
(That’s always assuming the encryption is strong enough, of course !)
If the VPN doesn’t set custom DNS, honestly that’s a shitty VPN and you shouldn’t use it. Period.
Does the VPN client change the DNS permanently? Does it simply route it when the VPN is connected and when disconnected it goes back to your local DNS?
It only uses DNS of the VPN while the VPN is active.

Generally speaking it is never a good idea to put company software on your computer.
So in a VPN client, you still have the DHCP for your system, but it establishes a connection to the remote host and sends all traffic there. So on your side, if you tried to look at the connections happening, the only DNS query would be for the VPN provider and the only traffic would be to the VPN IP address. All the rest happens on their server and routes your traffic on that server rather than using any of your local resources.
Wow, that’s so fucked. Clearly the employee has the disadvantage against companies.
There has to be a middle ground where the law contemplates the reason of the termination and not having to be a worry to the company if they fired lawfully. But not leaving the employee like that.
Just take a look at Germany.
Workers’ unions and the labor laws are so strong there, that if you get a permanent contract, you are practically impossible to fire unless you chose to leave yourself.
Many German companies these days refuse to give employees fixed contracts, and keep them rotating on 1-3 year contracts in general (and with today’s new work force and their track records of swapping jobs, it actually works out).
It is not a super big issue, but it is annoying as a newly graduate or soon to be mid level worker who might want the comfort of a fixed contract while building up their skills. The one “major” disadvantage for companies in Germany though, is that “old timers” whom refuse to learn anything new, and just forcefully sit on their arses and do “the same thing they have always done”… well as they have a history of doing exactly the same tasks in their jobs for the past decades, the company literally has no recourse to replace them or force them to upskill without causing havoc with the workers’ unions, and they really don’t want that.
TL;DR: Workers’ unions in Germany are so strong, that employees on fixed contracts are practically impossible to fire, leading to older timers just sitting there doing almost nothing as technology makes them obsolete, but the company cannot fire them
Oh I haven’t ever found anything that isn’t available to view offline, maybe a Australia vs US type thing, either that or I don’t watch enough lol
