Quoting Kirk Strauser on the gtkg-users mailing list:

You, sir, are completely insane for putting that box on the Internet. I
notice that you have a DSL connection and therefore most likely enjoy a
semi-static IP. Your machine is probably 0wn3d even as you type. Please
take it offline immediately, format, install, and start using proper
security practices before exposing it to the world.

Thank you and have a nice day.
