I/we don't. I feel the machine is too exposed to the public net for my 
taste.
If we wanted to use it, I'd set it up on a machine I have hiding behind 
firewalls and using other network resources to protect.

(Others, more skilled/experienced than I may be willing/able to risk 
this but I am erring on the side of caution and assuming that the 
black-hatted "them" are more wiley than I am. To this end, I try to keep 
our exposure to a minimum.)
