So Im at work offshore trying to watch the baseball games on my Surface Pro 3. Company doesnt allow streaming services other that Amazon Prime. I have ESPN through HULU. However, being that my company has HULU blocked, I cant access the login page when ESPN directs me to it. I was already logged in on my phone when I came out, so I can watch on my phone, I would just like to be able to watch on the bigger screen.

I tried looking for a few VPNs last night but my company is onto that too and they were all blocked.

Any help would be much appreciated

Can you broadcast/mirror your phone onto your Surface, or TV in the area?

No service out here. Im 100 miles south of Mobile bay. There is ONE spot on the north corner of the platform that I may be able to go to and get enough service to try and hotspot and login from, but chances are EXTREMELY slim that I can make it work

Many cable companies allow you to warch live TV anywhere on any device. All you need is the username and password to an account. If your cable company doesn't do this, just ask a friend or relative whose cable company does. You can typically view it through a browser or an App.

that sucks that your company is that draconian....allowing only amazon prime, block other streaming, and blocking VPN??? Not sure which types of VPNs you used but it could be a service type that's being blocked, so you could attempt to change the VPN config settings on your device to see if you can connect.

Now it's been some time since i've used any internet proxies, but it was one way to get around some blocked websites/services. I would guess that with the advancements in IT these days that they may not work for you but it's worth a try...

Use the Puffin Browser. It uses cloud server to render your page...thus bypassing most firewalls and essentially functions like a VPN.

I guarantee 100% it will work.
