So i tried to get my (private) cell phone, connect it to the work WIFI network (same network as the wired one I am trying to bypass) and I installed the openvpn on my cellphone. It works perfectly fine, now I can use my cellphone at my company's expense to browse reddit.

Any Ideas?

Thank you in advance.
