[QUOTE="Catmat, post: 1694443, member: 367248"] Hello everyone this is my first post here, thanks in advance for your help. For my job, I am required to install and use a VPN connection (Tunnelblick) on my own Macbook. The company did not provide a computer, this is my own Mac, where I also receive personal emails, FaceTime and iMessages etc. Now, I have no idea if all the traffic will go through the VPN and my concerns are: 1. will the company be able to read my iMessages, emails, personal passwords and see websites I visit when I am connected through their VPN? 2. will they be able to still read/see all of the above even when I am disconnected from the VPN? Is it safe for privacy when disconnected? 3. if I use Private mode on Firefox will they still be able to see websites I visit? There is nothing to hide frankly but if they could potentially read (not saying they will) any of my personal iMessages or emails it just seem wrong. Any VPN expert for Mac here? Thanks :Smirk: [/QUOTE]
