Access to LiChess and Chess.com

Can anyone who is more computer-literate than me advise me here, please?
I use a laptop provided by my employer, which I am allowed to use for modest personal matters but on which certain restrictions are imposed - eg I cannot access Spotify and get a warning if I try to use Google Drive. Software is automatically downloaded by the corporate IT system I log into.
For some time, I have not been able to play "live" games on Chess.com (but can access "daily" games). I could play live games on Lichess - but my access to that has suddenly stopped. If I try to start a live game, a sign of "reconnecting" appears - and I never progress to a game - which is similar to what happens on chess.com.
Any ideas, please? Or do I just accept that my company doesn't want me to play games on its equipment (reasonably enough)?
