Cannot play this game on work. Getting "Could not connect to server" on login screen.
Port forwarding issues?

Most likely those. If you can use wifis or attach additional usb wifi adapter to your computer you might be able to go around that. Share your phone's internet or something.

This is a possibility. Also might use a proxy service of some sort as the network is firewalled, or use a remote desktop to your home PC.

Any decent workplace has breaks.
Who are we to tell him what to do during those.

Any decent country has laws that requires multiple breaks for any job.

Let us know if any of the above solutions are usable.

To note, if you need a guide for using your phone to connect to your computer, search Google for "reverse tethering." It's not hard to set up, though might throw flags at work by attempting to connect to a network. All modern operating systems can be configured to not allow this.
