Honestly, they are not going to make a big deal out of her going to a 
particular IP address. If they do find it inappropriate, they would 
simply add that address to the block list as well. This was a case of a 
site being flagged by software because it assumed the content to be of 
an adult nature, when in actuality, it was just a bloging community. 
The problem with her using SSH is that they would indeed freak out if 
she were running unapproved software, especially something like SSH 
that most people in her office wouldn't even understand. That just 
looks shady, where viewing what a blog community site on down time 
isn't a big deal.
