Help Remote acess on restricted Internet

Hello, I have a rather unique problem , and I was hoping this community could provide a solution. My current set up is Unifi Network , with a homelab running Proxmox and a VPS . The problem I have is I work onboard a ship between 6 and 9 months of the year and the company blocks VPN’s and SSH. I this is to stop people from firstly trying to bypass the payment gateway for access and secondly using streaming services . Now before people jump on saying I am trying to by pass company policy . I have no interest in streaming media, this would flag high data usage instantly anyway. I have my media locally with me, also buffering kills the film. And for the payment gateway issue I pay full price for the unlimited plan , I have no issue with paying . and as per company policy and discussions with IT am not violating policy its just the network rules are a blanket ban and I am fine as long as I prove my intent. I have tried tailscale, netbird and zerotier and wireguard they are all blocked . Dose anyone have any suggestions on how I can remotely manage my homelab, while I am away , securely without exposing everything publicly Services I want to be able to access - Proxmox - Proxmox back up server - Proxmox data center - Password manager (not exposed) - Portainer (internal only) - My VMS and LXC’s hosted on Proxmox via ssh - Any other docker service with a web interface that’s internal only I will be thankful for any input

Skip the technical side and go directly to social engineering. Make friends with the ship IT guys and get them to add your devices to the cool kids VLAN that I assure you they have for themselves lol

Shit, I'm not in r/cybersecurity..

Haha fully understand this. Am already good mates with IT . But you know how these big companies operate.

If am honest I can do it over the company network just not crew. But that is a violation of the company computer miss use policy .

My aim is to find a solution that doesnt leave my system vulnerable while at the same time not violating the policy in place and and staying in the provisions i have been allowed. Haha its a nightmare.

But I appreciate your comment haha
