Hi,
This is the same like "users should protect computer by password"
They should but don't do this. They have empty password. Also for Firebird
masterkey ... Sorry but they must lern and think a little....

But you are assuming that the user actually knows how to configure a
firewall (or even knows what a firewall is). Not all people who install
Firebird are system administrators or are aware for the need to secure
things. Serious users of Firebird are (or should be) aware of that, but for
example students who only install Firebird for a small project are - most
of the time - not. An installation that by default restricts to localhost
will 'protect' those users, while only adding a small burden to serious
users.
