Port 433 is used for HTTPS requests, see this link for more info:

The firewall is probably forwaring port 433 requests to your work server.
Get the IT people to open port 5500 on the firewall and set it to forward to
your computer. Your computer will need to be assigned a static ip address.
Hope this helps.
