Nah they’re connecting to their home network via a Tailscale exit node which basically runs all your requests traffic through your device/router at home/ external server, P2P encrypted.
And if it’s got an adblocker on that network you soon notice if it’s not connected since all the ads come flooding in.
I too third Tailscale, since it is literally now saving me money because work has give us pretty darn fast WiFi albeit with a nanny filter which the above exit node breaks you out of so I now don’t pay for as much data on my cellular plan.
That’d be dependent on your works IT policy and I can hear the resounding NO from my IT dept here at home :/
However if they’re fairly lax, you could install it on anything from a Pi to a spare laptop.
Besides like I say it’s now saving me money, I’ve also got the bonus of having off site backup storage at a family member’s now since I gave them an old Pi4 of mine, setup the arrrr stack/Jellyfin/Jellyseerr etc and they love me so much now because of that, I don’t think they’d even notice they’re secretly part of my 3.2.1 backup solution (since they also get my remote IT support + their adblocker on their phone via Tailscale anywhere) ;)
You have your Pihole setup at work?

Neat, I will have to check that out! I’m guessing you can’t enable it on locked down work devices, however.
