Slightly *ahem* embarrassing question: I was working from home on my personal laptop (not corporate owned) and had connected to my work computer/network via Cisco Anyconnect VPN. Once I was finished with my work tasks, I forgot to close the VPN connection and about two hours later I opened a NSFW website using my personal laptop web browser. Is there any chance that they can see this activity? I use Comodo Firewall on my personal laptop, if that is of any use.
Is there anything I can do to check if they can see what I was browsing? Is connecting my VPN and running an IP trace, then disconnecting it and running the trace again to see if I get the same IP really telling me anything (as another website intimated)? Would I have a different IP if the VPN was tracking my activity?
Even if they can see it, is the fact that it is my personal laptop, rather than a work one, helpful to me? I'm guessing the chances of someone even monitoring this is very small, but you know how paranoia is. Do you hear knocking?
