  I use Google Chrome on my phone. Is there a reason that you can't/won't use your browser?

  If I have an app for forums I can read them while I’m at work, if I have to use the browser it will be blocked.

  Have you tried accessing the forum from your work via the Puffin web browser? Puffin differs from traditional browsers in that it shifts much of the browsing workload to the "cloud". It's actually a very fast browser and it is a favorite of students on account many schools also have restrictions in place that Puffin can bypass. It doesn't always work for Puffin can be blocked too, but often that requires extra steps that not every institution implements. It can't hurt to try. On a side note, I've been using the Puffin browser for casual browsing for several months now, mainly because it's ridiculously fast. I heard they recently also debuted a PC version, though I've yet to try it.
  
  Changing your Phone's DNS to a free public domain (such as the popular Google Public DNS:
  8.8.8.8.
  8.8.4.4.
  might help as well (no guarantee, though).
