TCP port 8369 does not show up as being for anything specific (ports
1024 and above are unregulated so to speak). E.g.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

This makes me think your workplace blocks every outgoing port, then
unblocks those that are needed. It might slow down a cyber attack by a
smidgeon.

Your only chance is to approach the sysadmins with a reason (i.e. use
case) and beg. Your chances depend on exactly what policy they have.
