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.
VPN to LAN, great for remote access of other things on your home LAN as well. Once connected it will be as if your phone was on your home WiFi.
Don’t do this. This is going to trip alarms on any half decent IDS, and your net admins are busy enough without having to write up a report to go to the HR people deciding if they are going to fire you for breaking the computer use policy
Using a VPN on wifi shouldn’t trip anything.
So I have Windscribe as my VPN, what do I do exactly?
That’s not “Windscribe as my VPN”, it’s a VPN to Windscribe’s servers.
You want to setup a VPN to your home network. This is one option: https://tailscale.com/
ooo, this looks very nice. I shall try setting this up, thanks
This is the answer.
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.
