I’ve always been curious what the true boundaries of Citrix are when WFH. Can an employer see what other apps are doing outside the Citrix view if running on one’s own hardware? Could they monitor web browser usage?
AFAIK no. It might collect some telemetry data but those can be generated and viewed by yourself anyway. Things like username, computer name, OS etc.
There is this utterly annoying thing called App Protection that injects a driver into your OS low level functions that aims to prevent things like keyloggers, screenshots and recordings. The problem here is that it often breaks some OS functionalities doing it. I used to work for company A as a resource for company B. Company B's Citrix literally prevented my computer from using Teams to speak with company A. Also if you have the big galaxy GPU and experiencing 2FPS on your games? Yeap... app protection is at it again.
Funny thing is that it blissfully runs on a VM from where you can do whatever you want including the things it should prevent you to. Shrugs.
