I run a firewall that blocks inbound connections from the internet,
and I don't run JS-supporting web browsers on them so no random JS
hacking about at old browser vulnerabilities. If you wanted to take
that approach for an internet server then "doing your own security"
would be a more meaningful commitment, although the CIP supported
kernels are a good starting point.
