For most of my Linux-oriented career, the X protocol (TCP port 6000-60nn) that runs over the network has not been allowed. Most security policies ban the X protocol and have it silently blocked on network equipment. I guess I’m OK with that. I’ve mildly argued the point a few times but I generally accept the walls in which I must operate.
