Clearly, computers should be licensed only to those who can pass a
test... (and device developers should be forced to use the products they
produce...)

Ahm... well, at least for the SB I can assure you, I do use it. But there clearly are products I've been working on I hardly ever (or never) use... And this admittedly is a problem for a dev.

Interested to see how the code can distinguish an external request from
internal though.

It's not very sophisticated, and not even fully correct: when a request is coming from the network's default gateway, I'm assuming it's coming from the outside. I know that this is a rather simplistic approach. But I thought I'd push it out this way and see whether people run into issues :-). If they do, then at least they can double check their network configuration to make sure they really don't open things up.

And then there's that undocumented pref you can set to disable the check in such an exceptional case.
