I think needing a VPN to access the internal network is a good practice. And if you’re going to be used a VPN anyway, I don’t see why you wouldn’t use a “fake” TLD like .lan for internal stuff, after all it’s just simple DNS rules.
It’s used in many cases where the machine may not be on the LAN and LAN is a technical term. “Internal” is not and to me signifies that it’s “not public” aswell as probably managed by someone, well, internally at the entity you’re with.
A good move!
I’m surprised they didn’t codify “.lan” though since that one is so prevalent.
