My company uses a VPN where the client is so slow inside the VM it is functionally useless. 99%of the time I can still get away with it because my connection amounts to a couple of telnet sessions, but when I actually need data or a spreadsheet or something transferred local, I need to fire up windows directly to snag it.

Sonicwall has a VPN client that will run fine on Linux (or so they say), but the company won’t switch over to it. And sonicwall considers the windows only version eol and won’t add a Linux version
