Note though that it would still be good security practice to firewall
the buildbot away from the rest of your network such that it can
*only* reach the internet, and not the rest of your private intranet.

While the buildbots only run on commits that have been reviewed and
accepted by a core developer, there's always a chance of someone's
credentials getting compromised and problems being caused as a result.

Cheers,
Nick.
