Is having my college’s VPN client on my personal laptop safe in terms of privacy?
I was asked by the college to install Sophos SSL VPN Client on my personal laptop to connect to the college network from home (to carry out tasks like course registration, etc.). I had already installed the client and used it multiple times.
Does my college have access to my private data when:
the VPN client software is in connected mode? (connected to the college network)
the VPN client is in disconnected mode?
If yes, what kind of data does the college have access to?
and,
How can I protect my privacy if uninstalling this software is not an option?
