In reference to my tutorial here:

I have a question for the security experts out there. I'm thinking that there are definitely people out there who would love to use their Pogoplug with this solution to run a personal website, but am wondering if that opens people up to security concerns.
Given that one has to open port 8081 and that the website would be stored on the USB drive, are there any security concerns here? Or is it highly unlikely that there would be a problem for most users?
Would it be safer for one to use domain forwarding rather than DynDNS for a "public" site? (I'm guessing the answer to this one is a resounding yes, but throwing it out there anyway.)
For those who wouldn't be sharing their DynDNS address with the public, it's much less of an issue of course...
