actually they are not. In fact I have put out the challenge for anyone to try to get in to "Come get me if you can" from the login server list. I am now on my server alone and I bet one million jilllion that I will be alone the rest of the day.

Here's what happened to me yesterday. One of my computer was suppose to be "Internet visible" but for some reason it wasn't acting like it should (I couldn't telnet to the console program).

With that setup I started playing with 0.2 and saw somethings that made me security aware. I had mistaken my own inability to connect to the "Internet accessible" with the ability for others to connect. When the "tyco" message appeared, I though that "tyco" had somehow slipped through a security hole. But later I saw that I had intentional created that hole, so I closed it.

My mistake was not to follow the logic of my second step. When I closed the hole I also closed any outside access to me. But since I am accessing from inside my own net, I can still connect.


So if you just want a private server, use you own internal IP and you system is as safe as ever. You can run it 24/7 and only people on your own internal net can access it.
