not sure office == work place, but most workplaces have policies around intentionally bypassing network security/firewall rules.
If your workplace has any kind of security operations/threat detection, you could find yourself explaining why exactly your host is reaching out over suspiciously encrypted channels?

Specifically, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egress_filtering. If the OP's company has restrictive firewalling and filtering already, they also probably have egress filtering and monitoring as well.
I agree with you, this will surely raise a red flag in our administrators panel and this isn't my intention. I'm mainly interested on the technical side of things.
I know that most ports and traffic types are already blocked. What about outgoing https traffic, this is encrypted and should be allowed to pass...something like an https tunnel.
