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.

Don't, unless you don't mind losing your job. They did it because they noticed people were watching stuff at work and they don't want you to do it.

We don't know their situation. Might be fine, and they just blocked most ports rather than specifically Plex's. OP also said they only watch stuff on their break.

Fair enough, that could be the case. Some generic blocking setting. In that case others in this thread have given good technical suggestions.
