What was the problem?


The company likely has a physical or virtual web sense proxy on their internal network (why that company is allowing her to connect to their internal network with a foreign machine is a whole different problem). The web sense proxy is forcing all HTTPS traffic to use that company's root certificate, but our company laptop doesn't trust that certificate. So, she gets certificate errors on all HTTPS sites and some HTTPS sites don't load properly at all.

I connected to our company VPN and was able to hit internal HTTPS sites just fine.

Their web sense proxy wouldn't be determine that our internal sites are coming across on HTTPS (TCP 443) because the VPN tunnel encrypts the traffic, and it's only decrypted once it actually hits the user's machine.
