I've gone back and forth on this having done it one way or the
other for several years now and I'm not actually convinced
it buys you that much more security.  Yes, I know you can
tunnel a shell through ICMP, but by turning it off you lose
what can be a valuable debugging too.  So, I guess it
just boils down to what you're willing to trade off.

Cheers,
Tanner
