I'm looking for a way to remotely access two Mac devices at home from different networks, including my corporate laptop which is sometimes connected to a corporate Wi-Fi where I can't run my own VPN. I've heard that using port forwarding on my router might not be secure, and I'm also confused about the security of RDP over SSH. I want to know if there's a remote desktop solution that's secure enough to expose its port to the internet without involving a VPN. What options do I have, and why might RDP over SSH not be considered secure? I'm aware Tailscale is an option, but my company's IT has made it clear that's off the table while I'm on their network.

Yeah, asking for help on how to bypass corporate security isn’t the best idea. You might find better guidance from your company's IT team instead of forums. They can help you set up a secure connection while staying compliant with company rules.
If you don’t understand the reasons behind these security measures, it’s best not to circumvent them. Connecting to personal machines from a work device raises red flags. Make sure to consult your IT for proper setup options.
It's important to fully understand the risks before connecting personal devices. While it's tempting to bypass corporate restrictions, engaging with your IT department for guidance is a safer route. They might offer a solution that complies with company policies.
Honestly, using your corporate network to access personal devices is a risky move. Is it really worth potentially getting flagged by your IT department?
I understand the risks, and I’m not trying to skirt IT. I just want a workaround to access my home Mac without having to carry it around all the time.
