Why do you speak of encrypting your data streams?  Do you encrypt your phone 
conversations?  

Phone conversations are much easier to intercept than data, and probably a lot 
more useful in the industrial espionage business.

I don't mean this in a mean or petty way, but I hear so many  people speak of 
the fear of stolen data and sales literature, yet they will sit in a busy 
restaurant and make plans and policies of the very future of their business and 
not even turn their face away from the other patrons when they speak.

On another level the real danger in my mind is disruption of services.  A 
firewall may be useful to prevent that, but your real desire is to get 
communicating as easily and quickly as possible.  Set up your machine, put it 
on the lan, get fixed ip addresses from your isp and have a go.  It is my 
opinion that if you think of the internet as you think of your phone services 
you will have a better feel for your security needs.
