I liked it !




But I was stuccked in Sao Paulo's crazy traffic and remembered it (don't know why I was thinking about it)...

This wouldn't be the same that could be achieved using firewall rules ? (defining an IP range authorized to some port).

As said by Alex, it could be easy to implement, but what the benefit of it if we already have it at the firewall level ?

see you !
