as of today I noticed I can’t access my plex server at all when on my work’s wifi. But if i swtich to 4g i can watch plex just fine. But obviously mobile data isn’t truly unlimited high speed. And yes I only watch shit on my break. I have remote access enabled etc. Not sure what I can do?

Update: turns out I’m an idiot and my HD bay was turned off hence why I couldn’t get into my plex/media. Now I can view it all just fine at work.

      This is the answer…

      … to get him fired.

      Haha, downvote me all you want. Your job’s IT is blocking this, going around it is very stupid, unless you don’t care about your job.

        Forgive my ignorance, but how would they know? Wouldn’t they just see a VPN connection and where it’s going, but not what’s happening across the VPN?

        I’m just glad I don’t have to deal with this. Even if I use the WiFi at work, it’s for public use and there’s no restriction with regards to streaming.

          They’d see a VPN connection, where it’s going, how much traffic it’s using, and the origination point on the network. Might as well put up a giant red arrow over your desk.
