Yes agree with that, and my intention was not to spread FUD or claim
that ip-filtering is useless, perhaps I used the wrong wording. I still
believe the information is on topic though.

So in order to, hopefully, clearify my statement: One would most likely
be very safe off using ip-filtering, but nonetheless opening up for
incoming connections at least creates a potential for the system
becoming more vulnerable to attacks, although this is unlikely.
