The endpoint blocking is pretty easy to bypass if you run your own VPN (e.g., Tailscale with an exit node in your home network, or an OpenVPN server).

My workplace recently blocked all VPN exiting traffic, even on the guest network. I found this quite bothersome, as I do prefer to tunnel everything through my house. I never use public WiFi without VPN; not because I'm doing illegal things, nor because I think it keeps the NSA from spying if they want to (after all, they can just monitor my house). It keeps the coffeeshop and airport and hotel networks from watching my moves, though.

It also doesn't trigger multi-location detection on Netflix, etc.
