-#### Warning: binding inspector to a public IP:port combination is insecure
-
-Binding the inspector to a public IP (including `0.0.0.0`) with an open port is
-insecure, as it allows external hosts to connect to the inspector and perform
-a [remote code execution][] attack.
-
-If specifying a host, make sure that either:
-
-* The host is not accessible from public networks.
-* A firewall disallows unwanted connections on the port.
-
-**More specifically, `--inspect=0.0.0.0` is insecure if the port (`9229` by
-default) is not firewall-protected.**
