You could still totally lock it down and deny WAN access but holepunch just for your vpn of choice.

Doesn’t help when you truly don’t have WAN connectivity. Imagine working on an airplane where the wifi is unusable or unavailable, or working during a long NYC subway ride (where even mobile data connectivity between stations is only occasionally and transiently available in the underground segments of the system).

  why would you be working while sitting on some type of conveyance? doing things like that will not get you any rewards which compare to the effort you've spent. look out a window, I say.

    I used to do code reviews and catch up on email on my phone while on the train. It let me leave the office sooner. The metro runs underground, so there's nothing out the window to see.

    Let’s say I take a train 1 hour each way every day - why not do some work?

      because you're not a slave. you don't owe your employer your travel time if you aren't explicitly paid and reimbursed for travel time and costs. that's your time. don't give it away to your employer for free. get paid for it if you are going to do work while you commute.

    Over the past decade I'd reckon 1/4 of my productive output has been whilst sitting on some type of conveyance. Some of the intervals in that period have stretched from 6mo to 1.5 year where >50% is while commuting or otherwise traveling. Honestly, I'm either on the clock or off, and I have better things to do with my time than look out a window when I'm not being paid.

      I genuinely envy your ability to do this. I find that it's simply impossible for me to engage in any meaningful work during commutes. I can't focus.

        And I can't focus in an office :/

        Yeah, that's rough as well.

It's more the principal so that I can spin up tests anywhere and actually understand the full set of deps.
