Corporate network blocking PIA Android App Login

in Android VPN Setup
Hi Guys,

So I have noticed that my Corporate network have recently block the PIA domain and sub-domains so I cannot even reach the site through the network (non-vpn).

Now what is very interesting is that the corporate network blocks all UDP traffic and now the app fails to allow me to sign. If however I go outside, connect PIA over 3G/4G and then go back onto the Corporate Wi-Fi PIA connects and routes the traffic through the TCP protocol? Any idea how I can get around the actual blocking of the PIA Android app logging in part?

    I found that after trying UDP and TCP with every port combination and it still fails to connect, that the OpenVPN app works without having to connect to 3G/4G first.  I keep both apps on my phone and laptop, with all my operating systems (Android, Windows and Linux), so that I can always connect no matter what wifi router I am connecting through.

    My company has banned all the vpn services in this regard. Can't access any vpn for diverting traffic protocol now.. Is there any solution to it?

    My corporate network as standard blocks any traffic that isn't using port 80 or 443 from leaving the company. If VPN is using either of these ports (which I doubt) then the companies content filter kicks in and would block any web traffic classified as VPN services. I don't think you can get around this.

    At work the site is blocked surely via keywords.

    With my laptop I am able to connect to the VPN over port 443 (this works on most any network that has VPN blocked for me including public networks).

    With my Android device, I am unable to get past the login screen. I believe it's hitting the web domain which is running a keyword check against it and blocking the login attempt (I saw for a second that page tried to load and was blocked via a mini web browser in the app it seemed). I'm not sure if the MacOS app uses a direct connection rather than through a domain? But there seems to be some difference in the apps that allows one to work and the other not to :\
