So if I’m reading this right, won’t a VPN totally fuck with the system? Cause its a nessessity for some to get into local networking.
No, because this isn’t looking at networking, it’s looking at wifi access points
So if I’m using something lime Cisco secure client this bypasses the default security? I’m still missing something here.
Yes. Teams is software that runs on your computer. Based on what’s described here, it’s now going to ask the wifi driver what access points are available
Then it will send that info through the VPN along with the voice and video
How does that work when I remote into a Windows Virtual Desktop in Azure and use that for teams? This is probably 80% of my teams use.
Or use a Linux device? Will it tell teams my networking information?
It theoretically could through the azure remote desktop client since Windows owns every part of that stack and has no concept of not stealing all data. It probably doesn’t because it would involve coordination between several teams
It could work on Linux, but probably doesn’t because the Linux version of software tends to have more autonomy and better priorities
Guess we will find out!
