Since we are already off topic I'd like to point out something.
Where I work, we have hardware / software requirements for remote

Note, I'm not trying to "workaround" anything other than I refuse to
run a closed source application on my private system. Further, note,
my interest in accessing my employer's systems remotely is only to
benefit my employer -- I get no joy out of spending my personal time
working on things I work on when I'm on my employer's clock.
My daytime place of employment could care less if I do something
to benefit the employer with my personally owned equipment. I suspect
yours could care less either.
I hear you about "corporate policy". Depending on what business said
employer is involved in, that statement may or may not be reasonable.
Braindead policies, much like unconstitutional laws, must be
repealed/changed, ignored and/or rendered irrelevant.

Or you could find another employer since fighting "braindead policies"
often amounts to tilting at windmills. If you get no joy out of
spending personal time doing something to benefit the employer
then why do it?
When my current daytime place of employment starting throwing up more
and more roadblocks for remote access several years ago I quit doing
any off premise work for them.
