That’s basically any modern network. There is no more trivial “inside our network” vs. “outside on the internet”. Networks are segmented on a need-to-know principle. You can access some information from the public internet. Some other things can be accessed from the internet, but only on corporate devices, if your user AND device is whitelisted. And then you have one or more VPNs on top of that for more sensitive stuff. Also those VPNs may be “dynamic” in the sense that it may also be dependent on the user, device and authentication method what is currently accessible over that VPN connection.

Soooo… screw the network of a bunch of companies I guess, lol. Obviously I have to use my work’s VPN while working from home, but the way they set it up I also have to use it while working at the office. This is far from a unique setup over here. If this happens to be the same in Wisconsin I have some bad news for them.

Also schools. My kids state issued laptops use vpns to connect to the schools networks as well as in a true irony limit what sites they can access.
It’s actually so limiting it’s nearly impossible to print the required assignments on a printer in our home but that’s a different rant.
