Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Consider it non-secure for personal stuff. Consider the possibility of full monitoring. They may not see the contents of encrypted traffic from the VM, sure, but there's still a possibility of keylogging and even screen monitoring, possibly something else.
To answer your question, the guest OS should reject the security software's certificates, should it attempt MITM. Otherwise there wouldn't be much of a reason to use HTTPS over plain HTTP.
It can still do blocking I guess.
Secondly, it's a work device, and that software is there for a reason. Trying to get around it may have different results. Your employer might not care much, or they could assume something malicious on your side, and fired you are.
So don't use it past work-related use cases, don't borrow it to kids nor anyone else. That bit of hardware is most likely not worth the risk.
