Actually, while this SEEMS like a great idea, I can tell you now what the major
issue will be...<br><br>

There are multitudes of firewalls out there, that report the originating IP
address as the address assigned to the LAN address of the router, NOT the actual
internet IP address. So when UserX wants to connect remotely, having said stupid
firewall, will be confused why it never works.

Sure. Someone out there will be like "Don't use a stupid firewall". Right. We
can always do what we want...
