[QUOTE="Catmat, post: 1694614, member: 367248"] Thanks for the reply. I am using a different account but there are files and passwords you might need to use during work time that should still be kept private. This is how we solved it, maybe this info could be helpful to someone else. The company must set the VPN for split tunneling, which means that only specific traffic generated by the software you use for work or specific websites goes through the VPN, the rest goes through the main router as usual. It is still not clear though, on a standard VPN without split tunneling, if iMessages and phone calls etc. received on the Macbook would go through the VPN causing an obvious privacy concern. Not many detailed info online that I could find but I see many concerned people in this situation. If some VPN expert can add his opinion would be great. [/QUOTE]
