Some Protection
Hey,
I feel for you guys, this really S*&^.
I recommend a VPN such as the one offered at Reliable Hosting .com.
That will mask your IP address. I always use one when in the MENA area of operations. Many governments block traffic to sites they don't like. A VPN will connect you directly to a US server, and from there you can go anywhere.
The other blinding glimpse of the obvious is to not trash the company too much here. Stick to facts, and save serious talk for the bar, unless management has bought the bartender as well.
Cheers!
