Question - I want to keep my personal machine and anything I do separate from what might happen while logged into my works VPN. Is there a way to create a different desktop/partition/etc/etc that is separate/quarantined from all my personal stuff AND what I might do on my personal computer that can't be shared or spied on when I'm connected to my clients VPN?
I want a different "desktop" or something with all my work stuff, where the VPN will be working...so that if I start doing something on my personal computer that I don't want to be seen by my company, they won't.
I'm aware I can install Windows or MacOS as a VM and just run everything from the VM, BUT I have a pretty old machine (Macbook Air 2013) and I've installed Win VM's on it in the past and they work ok, but my 1.7Ghz/8GBRam isn't the best machine for this situation.
I'm also aware I can create a partition with MacOS and use the 2nd partition for all my work. BUT then I have to start and restart my machine to switch between the two, right??? Sounds kinda cumbersome, especially if I want to go back and forth multiple times a day or hour!
Situation -
The client I'm doing consulting for, as a software engineer, has allowed me to install FortiClient VPN on my personal computer (Macbook Air 2013) and use it to get on their network to do work. Awesome! The desktop in their office they provided was slow and non portable.
I use -
Visual Studio
Visual Studio Code
Azure Data Studio
Postman
SSMS
Bitbucket repo
plus anything else I will need in the future but haven't installed yet
I can also MS RDP into my desktop on site
