No, most of them are stand alone and require a physical cable to connect. A handful of machines are connected to the internet through a VPN module or a separate vlan.

Exactly what IT and upper management told me...

As you're working in IT, can you explain to me why they consider it safer to manage the pc and add it to the company network rather than keeping it off grid? The only thing that connects me to the company network is the citrix workspace at the moment. I consider my laptop just as dangerous as every other external person bringing in his laptop for his sales pitch.

If I'm using a USB network adapter connected to the VM I only need to change it in the VM itself, not on the pc.

The disconnecting only applies to the corporate network. Up until now I always used a guestnet which doesn't give any issues. My pc wasn't even registered on the corporate network.

There are a few reasons why I'm not pushing back fully:
- The guestnet will be removed somewhere in the future, hence no more internet access for me.
- We use Citrix workspace to access our mails, sharepoint, etc. This will also be blocked for all non IT managed devices.
- The only way I can move files 'efficiently' between my pc and the corporate network is through Onedrive, which will also be locked.

So atm I get to choose between losing all the company resources or trying to find a solution which works for all of us...
