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.

They might not be blocking plex, but blocking most ports that aren’t relevant to “normal” internet usage. E.g. just have ports 443, 80 and 8080 allowed.

You might have to steer a VPN through those ports too?
