Honestly, I won’t do that.  About three weeks ago I had gotten approval for a 
new static ip address, at which point I asked for them to allow me to ssh to 
that address.  I was *refused* and told I had to use a VPN because they “have 
to protect shh from the internet.”  (!!!)

An IT department that thinks ssh needs to be protected is not a department you 
want to deal with, ever.

If I ask them about bandwidth I fear they will take away ssh access from the 
address I already had.

Yes, this is what your tax dollars pay for.
