Do you browse the fediverse at work?
During downtime I didn’t really care about surfing on reddit, but it does feel a bit weirder to surf into some “random” Lemmy instance like lemmy.dbzer0.com [http://lemmy.dbzer0.com] on my work computer for some reason. Do you surf the fediverse at work?
Be careful browsing federated social media on work internet. You don’t know where requests will be made, I’ve seen a post of someone getting in trouble because lemmynsfw was pre-loaded by their browser.
Use a VPN
Mine is setup like that as well, but IIRC it’s only for thumbnails. When you open an image, it’s requested from the original server.
Browser pre-loading does DNS requests and sometimes even loads the full page in advance without even clicking a link, for faster load times. So it all depends on your app/browser/instance combo.
Since 0.19.4 you have the possibility as the instance admin to proxify all external images
