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.
It honestly depends on the network policies you’re dealing with. Some employers have strict security and won’t allow workarounds like vpns or proxies, and they really don’t want you connecting the network to other unsecured ones.
That said, I’d try a personal VPN (not necessarily a proxy one, just one that can connect you to your plex server on a shared network). If that doesn’t work, I really doubt it’s a good idea to connect to your plex server from their wifi anyway. If that’s the case, I would just download the media I want before I get to work
