I guess the main point is that this not how one would mask an ip. An ip is masked by redirecting traffic via some intermediate server(s).

Once she encrypts an ip, what does she do, she sends the string via email to colleagues?

This is how I understand it... But I might be very wrong

Pretty much spot on

I guess I foolishly assumed she was doing her own encryption over https or something (I have no idea if that's even possible. I've taken one network security class)
