If they on your local private network (AKA your 'private cloud')...you at
least know who they are, get bug reports and can maybe even help fix :)
I would never propose using X11 network transparency over a public internet
or even though a bridge or router. Anyway SSH exposes bugs as well. In fact
any connection can!
Thanks,
