[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our IT would know because cruise ships are registered to foreign countries and if we want to access email from outside the US, we have to jet IT know so they can set the correct permissions. [/quote]

This is the same at my company. We have very strict rules (for compliance reasons in our industry) about accessing our network internationally. Individual IPs must be whitelisted and we will NOT whitelist cruise ships, as their networks are not secure and are very wide. We have people who live abroad (and in some cases, are traveling abroad) who we are able to accommodate with advanced notice, but probably once a year some doofus texts us from a cruise ship saying they can’t connect to the VPN or our network and there is nothing we can do. They end up having to use a weeks worth of vacation time unplanned and often have left their colleagues quite in the lurch.

You don’t necessarily need to talk to your boss, but ask somebody in IT. [/quote]

What industry? Banking is almost the only one I can see this being an issue for [/quote]

No not banking. We work with voter data. [/quote]
