Does your cable/dsl provider change your IP address daily? That seems unusual... or does your office DHCP change the IP address daily? If it's the latter, and the first 3 parts of the IP remain the same, ie. 192.168.111.xyz then you can add:
192.168.111.* to WORK_DIR/allowed_hosts which won't block any of the IP's in the range of 192.168.111.001 to 192.168.111.255.
