Long toot, but TLDR Im looking for advice from fellow IT and network managers/maintainers

Planning a network overhaul for my 20 person employer for a few months from now. Likely going Unifi for as much as possible for the tight integration and simple management for this poor solo IT guy. Im not looking for input on that decision at this time, unless you have a really good reason.

Unfortunately, everyone is used to a BYOD system when it comes to WFH. They download the NetExtender VPN on their personal machine and RDP into their workstation in the office. I am trying to figure out how best to lock this down without pissing everyone off (yet).

Obvious measures already in effect include MFA for VPN access and geo-based IP blocking. Id love to lock it down further though, and for that I am looking into an RDP gateway in combination with VPN.

For off-site company-owned devices, those would use the Unifi VPN authenticated via AD and MFA. Connections would be based on an allowlist of known safe workstations and they would be allowed normal network access.

For personal devices, Im considering an RDP gateway (with MFA) to monitor and limit connections from personal devices to employee workstations only (I.e. no server access). I could expose that publicly and ensure its locked down with MFA and give the host server minimal permissions and access. However, Im wondering if it would make sense to place that behind the VPN as well.

Untrusted VPN connections could go to their own VLAN, only allowed access to the RDP gateway and nothing else. Both would authenticate with the same LDAP credentials, so not much benefit there. My main consideration is 0 days and other vulns. A 2 layered approach would ensure that a vulnerability in one system is still mitigated by the other.

I could see this creating unnecessary overhead for employees to connect though, and may not be worth the perceived extra security.

Anyone have any input Id love some advice here!

I have had something against using IDEs forever personally, because I just like the satisfaction of being able to program anywhere, with any text editor, and knowing/typing all the correct syntax by hand.

I still love working with just a text editor and writing everything manually, but I do have to admit that I like .

I don't even use any of its features except having a little terminal in a window at the bottom of the frame to insta-test my code, but it's nice.
