If you are tech-savvy, or have a chum that is, one way of getting around some localised content-blocking is to tunnel from where you are to your home router. The tunnel hides all traffic. Provided your home IP address is not on any blacklist, you are golden. Given how many work from home, at least some of the time, those IP addresses do not usually make blacklists. However, it can be the policy of the remote network to block any tunnelling protocols apart from the endorsed remote/home-working option. You will need to find out what port** that approved VPN app is using. Option: Wireshark.
So if I were looking to get around web-access-blocking imposed by the IT network to which I am connecting, the sequence of steps I would take would be some version of this:

- Check what VPN server protocols are supported by your home router. There is bound to be native support for more than one
- Install the appropriate corresponding VPN client on your personal mobile device
- Export the relevant client certificate from your home router and install in your mobile device
- Identify what protocol port** is already supported by your remote office IT infrastructure and apply same to your personal VPN client configuration on your personal mobile device and home router VPN server app

You can't have it both ways. .
If your company (or does such as BASC still claim to be a charity ?) is paying for the service to e.g. allow you to work from home (lucky you) then they can, and must, set the rules. and make hard decisions. Failing to prepare is planning for failure ISTR,
Simplistically there is a whitelist, and a black list. Yes that is how they are named, and convened to compare notes. Either in person, or online, mostly on the dark web.. Just as there are white hat and black hat groups.
If BASC have (unsurprisingly) got onto a blacklist, well I doubt that they are sufficiently clued up to rectify that.
Preferably over a secure specific VPN, with monitoring of everything that you do, or attempt to do. Records to be kept. Possibly a little incompetent. If they don't have experienced skilled IT staff who understand the rules. In short supply it seems, according to the recruiters that I have chatted with Or so it would seem.
In what way might perusing SD or many other websites that have no business nor political influencing value be deemed appropriate ? Do it just through your own home arrangement.
Try going into a public library (if you can find one open) and try to access SD Or other such sites. Or anything slightly slightly controversial . It is quite scary how little is now available. How did that happen ?
