I was figuring that it should be able to work like this some way. I will
delve more into it and see what I can manage.

As much as I try to be a bit paranoid about my connection to the
internet I recognise that being human I will make mistakes that can open
me up to threats. At the end of the day, I still have an internet
connection and thus must be willing to accept that there is potential
for abuse of my systems.

Good thing I am an optimist. :)
