Maybe moving your computer that connects via VPN in to a VM will help you...

Here, the only thing the genius' have moved to the cloud is our email.
You'd think that would be good (our regular system is not publicly facing - you need a VPN account to your VM and then I, too, RDT to my Xeon). Anyway, as I was saying, wouldn't that be good so I can access my mail from anywhere?
Well - I did use " genius' " in a cynical context. Within a week of the email-to-cloud move they blocked access except from internal connections. That's how it's stayed.
World Wide Access ! In internal mail server on our network would be faster and cheaper.

Interesting. Everything we have is on the cloud except for our laptops. I have Sql installed on my laptop and Visual Studio and I do all development on my machine until I need to publish it and then I publish to Azure.
It's weird they won't let you have a local dev box.

I'll bet a lot of them have reached that point because of stupid work-related policies imposed by their employers...

Yep, we have to do that too. We used to be able to hit our Github Enterprise repositories inside the environment and use personal wiki pages to get information in and out of the system but they have since cut that off.

Can you VPN from inside a VM instead?

No, because we can't run VMs.

Yeah, god forbid - that would be useful, and you might get things done.

I often have to remind myself not to bring logic or common sense with me when I come to work.

For your info, one can use V-NET Router if one needs more flexibility and even some aspect of security  , in case one would like to know. Otherwise one could stop further reading ...
It is an SDN solution that allows one to connect from one's local base LAN (local network) to any number remote offices, cloud domains at the same time. It is just like a normal router after (software) provisioning. Each remote connection is isolated from the local base LAN by using layer 2 VLAN for security purposes and can communicate to each other on explicit demand ... User can access public internet and various remote location at the same time
We are still developing it, however it's in working state. since we are using it internally. This very message is uploaded via an end-point in California while I am sitting somewhere else in the world ...

Ask them to make it a Split Tunnel VPN so you can get to your local network as well.

Intellectual Property Lawyer?
The only one that comes to mind is . . . my son. Lives here in USA, but his company has him travel a lot (EU) - and he's passed through Spain; mostly he's been to more northern countries.
A corporate lawyer so it wouldn't be helpful to you, anyway. Those laws, like most laws I suppose, can be pretty messed up.
Laws: written primary by lawyers so you need to hire a lawyer to understand what's going on.

Here in Norway, there has for at least 30 years (I think it is more than that) been a language expert going through all proposed laws and changes in laws, to ensure that they are reasonably readable to common man.
The first one in the job (Finn-Erik Vinje), university professor in Norwegian language, was for 20+ years the primary language consultant of the Norwegian public radio, and for 25 years he was the host of a very popular weekly radio progam about the Norwegian language. So, he knows very well both everday and formal Norwegian. He retired 15 years ago, but was followed by another guy (Sylfest Lomheim), carrying very much of the same qualifications.
As a result, Norwegian laws are surprisingly readable even to common man. Older people (that is, my age...) remember laws as something cryptic that - as you say - requires a lawyer to understand. When I drag them over to my PC, showing them how easily you can access the database presenting all laws, and all accompanying regulations, and how readable the texts are, they cheer up: Hey, I can understand that! (Younger people have accessed the laws on the web for 20+ years; they know that the laws are easy to understand.)
The Norwegian law system has a few other aspects making them easier to understand: We have no regional or local laws; all laws are national. A town may have its local parking regulations, but that is because the national laws explicitly leaves specific details to local regulations,serving as "local interpretations" of the national law (e.g. local parking regulations). You are judged by the national law; if a local regulation wasn't founded on a national law, it couldn't be used against you in court.
Fairly recently it was decided that all supreme court verdics over the years will also be made publicly available (for free) to everybody. Until now the have been available to lawyers, but before they can be publicized, they will be scrubbed of private and personal information, to anonymize the parties.
I guess we are quite well off in this country with respect to laws. There are of course lots of borderline cases where you need a lawyer's help to know which side of the line you are on (and to help you make it look as if you are on the legal side...), but generally speaking, you can understand the intention of the laws even if you have no degree from the university.

Readability is only part of it. There's a law here, in US, similar to that (at least with new laws) although I don't recall if it Federal or only NY State.
That's only a part of the problem.
The subtleties of the law and reliance on precedent make it difficult or impossible for a normal human being to handle anything. An example, when I lived in West Virginia, was that I was suing another driver because his company didn't offer enough to repair (or replace) my car. In my complaint (small claims court: $25 out of my pocket, not reimbursable even if I win) I noted that the defendants insurance company made an offer. Well, the company had lawyer (no defendant) and they argued that since I mentioned a settlement was offered it invalidated my claim.
That insanity is the law in WV. How would any rational human being know that? There were enough other things that I would need to hire a lawyer to get the full amount. A difference that, after legal fees I could not sue for, would make my efforts a total waste of time. My legal representative would cost at least that much.
There's other BullShirt in the laws - everywhere. Readable though yours may become, how much reading can you do compared to someone's who's paid to read and know that crap?
