That makes perfect sense:

<snip>
Unless this configuration option is changed from 0 to 1, Firebird can
open a database only if the database is stored on a drive physically
attached to the local computer
</snip>

You really need to understand the risk of database corruption in this
mode, the lack of any ability to control security, that you may
encounter issues with UDFs, that you will definately encounter
performance issues and the simplicity of setting up a service which
would solve all of these problems. If it was a hard thing to do I
could understand, but in all honesty, I think this is crazy.
