You can connect with ssh using *password* authentication from anywhere but using public key authentication I think ssh needs to verify that the client is the host expected.
By default an SSH public key works from anywhere. You *can* tie it down with 'from="pattern-list"' to only allow a key to be used from specific host(s), but without that all the distros/OSes I've used seem to default to access from anywhere.
