Have account just for VPN to work

[dentenzen1]

Hi All

My company allows to vpn from personal computers. We use the cisco anyconnect client for this purpose.

To safe guard using vpn for work on my personal pc I was thinking of creating a local account user on my windows 10 pc and only do vpn work from that user.

I will have a different user account (password protected) for personal use and store media/gaming.

Would this measure be enough to keep my files safe from potentially someone on my work vpn network from accessing my files/data?

Thank you

You don’t need a separate windows account. They cannot see your files unless you share with everyone and you would have to share it. However a separate work profile is not a bad idea to keep your stuff separated

I like NordVPN myself. Great deal for three year deals. Anyway, the OP work hosts their own vpn, and OP was concerned with OP's privacy.
