@p2 they used to do this with Smart Tunnel. I don't know why they got rid of it

I'm quite sure for "security" reasons. This is one example of the trade off between security versus usability that I see. Generally the problem is the people will disconnect, then go wherever they wish on the Internet and reconnect against some point... so the security argument is only protecting them so far

That sucks. Sorry y'all

I had same issue this morning

Works for me

Such bullshit, they need to just do split tunneling....route PwC traffic to PwC, The rest out of your regular Internet connection. Companies have been doing this for years, I've implemented it securely numerous times. Drives me nuts with them.

Interestingly enough, they also blocked Indeed.

Noooooooooooo
