AnyDesk connection blocked on a restricted/managed network — How can I bypass that restriction? [closed]

I'm trying to use AnyDesk on a network I don't administer, and the connection won't establish — it seems to be blocked at the network level rather than failing due to a client-side issue. From what I understand, AnyDesk typically needs outbound TCP 6568 (and can fall back to TCP 80/443 or relay servers) to work properly.
