Well, i didnt. Its a legacy install and i had jellyfin already running parallel because of the remote streaming paywall they introduced.

Why anyone still uses Plex for new setups is beyond me.

pretty much the only reason I still use Plex is because I like to be able to watch stuff during downtime at work and plex.tv isn’t blocked on the work network while my private domain is.
And no, using a hotspot off my phone on a personal computer isn’t an option, both because the security requirements of my job site prevent us from using personal devices in the main area where I work and because the building itself is a massive concrete structure that blocks most cell signals.

Strange that plex.tv isn’t blocked while a “personal” categorized website is. Have you looked to see what category your domain is shuffled under? You could try submitting a recategorization request to Cisco Umbrella or Fortinet databases. Requests for recategorization are free to do.

I’ve tried submitting recategorization requests through the links provided by my workplace on the block pages. The requests have been denied.
If I’m remembering right, it’s a Symantec web filtering solution that we use and they’ve decided that my domain is in the “personal blog” category. Which is a blocked category. Jeff Geerling’s website actually falls under the same category, which also kind of sucks, because I like reading some of the stuff he puts out.

I would go around them and go directly to the source of categorization. It looks like this is the Symantec categorization website in case it’s different from what you’re workplace provides - sitereview.bluecoat.com/#/
