Work implemented a new restrictions and I'm absolutely tired of having this machine on my desk. It needs to be connected to VPN at all times and cannot be RDP/VNC into it.

I'm looking for under $400
Accessed via local network
Low latency at 1080p (50hz or higher)
Can be accessed either like RDP or in a web browser (like Chrome remote desktop)

Any recommendations or is piKVM really my best option?

I used to use teamviewer for this. But considering it's locked to a VPN, Teamviewer would probably route through the VPN and cause latency, unless standard traffic is still flowing through your own gateway instead of the VPN. a pikvm is probably the best option. More private, better connection quality, and it would be difficult for the company to detect.
