I have some bad news: It’s stupidly easy, it requires no programming skills, and there are no known fixes.

Three Ways VPNs Make Remote Access Less Secure

Virtual private networks (VPNs) were introduced roughly two decades ago with the idea that creating an encrypted tunnel directly from a computer device to a network would provide secure access to company resources and communications from remote locations. VPN performance was notoriously sluggish, and they were difficult and time consuming for IT to administer, but at least the appliances were secure. Or so people thought.
