      Wouldn’t a company VPN bypass all that even though you are using your own internet connection to connect to the outside world?

        Maybe, I guess I don’t know enough to answer that. I do know that being on a company VPN isn’t always a requirement, though.

        Either way, I’m not trying to argue for one approach to ad blocking over another as a one-size-fits-all solution, I just wanted to point out that it’s possible to have more control over the network than the computer in some cases.

        Typically yes, assuming that the company VPN sets DNS to a set of company DNS servers. That is how my company’s works and several others I’ve worked for in the past.
