Recently I started working from home (like half of the world these days due to the Corona virus). Work has provided me with a laptop/screen etc. and a VPN to the company network. I only use this laptop for work purposes (but I am logged into Whatsapp and Facebook on it) and not outside work hours (although sometimes I forget to turn it off directly).
Today I received an e-mail from HR stating that they have done some tests, because the network has been bad, and that IT has concluded this is due to extensive use of sites such as Netflix etc. IT has provided HR with a list of IP addresses where this was ascertained. HR has requested everyone to stop doing this immediately. They consider this to be an incident, which they expect to not happen again.
This e-mail was written as if it was sent to the whole company. A list of the 'guilty' IP addresses was stated in the e-mail and everyone was asked to check for themself if it's you (due to privacy regulations, they say). However, I explicitly saw my only name in the 'receivers' of the e-mail, so it appears as if they know who they sent it to and put everyone in BCC?
Now I assume that they are referring to watching Netflix on the company laptop during work hours. And I want to reply and tell them that what they are saying (or basically accusing me of) is not true. But I also don't want to end up having any kind of problem with HR.
To me, it seems too ridiculous that this is what they are referring to. Besides, I don't think that they can tell me what I can and cannot watch on my private devices outside work hours. Or if I was living with someone, what a partner can and cannot watch on a private device while I work from home. But the e-mail is framed in such a way as if it is already a fact, that it makes me doubt about this.
I spoke about this to someone else, who thought that maybe IT sees that my internet is a problem. Tonight, I ran some speedtests and my download is 19 Mbps and upload is 3 Mbps. FYI: I work in customer service and I call over the internet (and do experience problems with this).
The other answer is technically correct in saying that it is possible to monitor your network from a device on the network. Sure, any adversary controlled device could potentially be used to pivot and attack other parts of your network, including monitoring.
But, the key word there is adversary. A legitimate company would not be actively attacking your home network from your work laptop. This would likely be illegal in nearly every jurisdiction. If you have evidence that your work laptop is performing malicious activity, that's an (unlikely) different story.
Simply put, your work should not be monitoring any traffic besides what is going through their corporate VPN. Why would they care what you do on your personal network, regardless of during work hours or not? Their concern seems to be resource use of the company network.
My only other thought: do you live in a complex with other residents, all sharing the same internet connection (and public IP address)? If so, maybe somebody else also lives there who works for your company and is misusing the company VPN.
When you connect to their network, if you google "What my IP" you will know if you're on their network or not depending if it matches whats setup in the VPN. I assume they set you up via VPN settings in Windows. If you look at the configuration for that, you will see the IP added. Local IPs could easily be accidentally mistaken for your IP if your network is built similarly. Same subnet, addressing scheme etc. It also depends if your IP is static or not.
Just because you were in BCC doesn't mean you were targeted. My guess is it would deal more with privacy of others. Like if you were to do "Reply All" and accidentally send an email of you defending yourself or keeping email chains separate.

Turns out its a copy protection scheme by MSFT and Netflix. Connecting an external monitor to your laptop to display the netflix content is not supported see response from Netflix. I have to wonder what happens to people who use HDMI TVs as their primary monitor... So I have to use my chrome web browser or chromebook to watch Netflix on my tv or go get a new device. Thanks for your response
Seems that what is happening, is that, watching Netflix like connecting your computer to a TV is not an official way to watch so is more like a work around, what is happening is that Netflix is protecting the content from copy rights, connecting it to a TV the app and IE take it as a way to copy the content, I know you are not doing this, but Netflix take is as an attempt for this and blocks the content, as Chrome is an Open Source project, the content is not protected like in other browsers and this is why you can watch it with no problems, my team is suggesting that you can try using a different cable that does not have this HDCP protection or keep using Chrome as it work as you wish in your TV!
Hi guys. The Microsoft Edge is my favorite browser of all times, really, but not when I try to watch netflix or other video streaming services, it always breaks, I have no ideia what to do anymore. Always when I try to play something there's an error and then I need to reload over and over again, sometimes even when I just play the video it stop working when I try to play again. Help me to keep using this best browser that I've ever seen.
I've ever tried to disable hardware acceleration, enable DRM content, install Microsoft Silverlight and a lot of other things, but I didn't get to watch so far without an error I keep receiving these error codes: D7356-7701 and others related. Is there's still something that can be done to really fix theses erros or I just have to be patient and wait for news versions of the browser?
I have the same problem. Internet signal good. When I go to settings and network, it indicates a green check for internet and wireless. I can use the internet on my laptop. In fact I am typing this on my laptop now. But when I try to use any of the Roku apps such as netflix, AmazonPrime, YouTube TV, I get messages like "failed to load content", or "no internet connection." I have unplugged and plugged everything multiple times. We have two Roku devices on different TVs. Same problem on each. I swapped out one Roku for an Apple TV box and had the same problem. I see that no one actually helped the prior writer. Has anyone had the same issue. Any ideas?
Didn't work for me. 3 devices, nothing changes, did all the steps. Internet went out and now I feel like I'm back to square one looking for a streaming device. Really need on call customer service, feel like searching through this page is pointless because of so many issues.
Greetings from the Roku Community, and thanks for keeping us posted!
We'd love to investigate this issue further. May we know how far your Roku device is from your network router? Did we recently make any changes to your network or network provider? How many devices do you have connected to your network right now? (e.g., TV, mobile phone, laptops, computer) Do you have cellular data so we can try connecting your device to your hotspot?
I have made no changes to internet services, no new equipment and have had Roku for about 4 years. There is a "not connected" error message. This has never happened before. The TV and modem have not been moved. There hasn't been a problem until 2 days ago. We have rebooted everything - router and Roku - Roku more than once. There are 2 bars out of 3 on the internet connection on the laptop - which has always been enough to stream in the past (I can stream Prime directly from the laptop). Have there been changes with Roku that require more speed now than last week? Do I need to upgrade the internet service speed?
