Re: Grown up way of dealing with things
I agree. However, theres a lot of apps that only allow access from the subnet you bound the service to. Either that or its a free for all on 0.0.0.0.
Its a piss poor security mechanism put in place to save time on an actual security mechanism. Either that or the dev building the services hasnt a clue about networking.
A lot of hacked together trashy services written in nodejs using the built in webserver are guilty of this.
