I work on a corporate laptop that has an infamous root CA certicate installed, which allows the company to intercept all my browser traffic and perform a MITM attack.
Ideally, I’d like to use the company laptop to read my own mail, access my NAS in my time off.
I fear that even if I configure containers on that laptop to run alpine + wireguard client + firefox, the traffic would still be decrypted. If so, could you explain how the wireguard handshake could be tampered with?
What about Tor in a container? Would that work or is that pointless as well?
Huge kudos if you also take the time to explain your answer.
EDIT: A lot of you suggested I use a personal device for checking mails. I will do that. Thanks for your answers!

Personal stuff on personal devices.
Company stuff on company devices.
Never mix. I don’t even check my personal email on my work laptop.
If I need access to my home, it’s through an external connection like LTE.
This, but if you use an OS like Qubes then you can keep them separate while still using the same device
I think that with 802.1X you can’t do that unless you export the keys somehow.
