    Yes, that's an option that I thought of too, in fact, iptables will
do the trick on Linux. However, you have to be careful here,
because if the weapp thinks it's base URL is http://something:8000/
and it's public address is actually http://something/ there may be
some desintelligences. Not that it can't be solved.

the emphasis first in vulnerable Smalltalk code, and only then
in native code (vm, plugins, external libraries, etc).
