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.

Whose WiFi? The companies WiFi? Why would that be any different to the wired network?

If you're letting random mobile devices on the internal network, you've already failed security 101.

Obviously random personal phones shouldn't have access to stuff like file servers, domain controllers, or even normal endpoints. But it's perfectly fine and normal to host a guest network that only gives internet access and nothing else.

Exactly! And you shouldn't care if someone fires up a VPN on a guest network! I would expect them to actually.
