Ah.  So, go to a provider that doesn't provide security, and do it
yourself.  The bottom line is that there's an inverse relationship
between security and usability, and every user has to find where they
want to be on that curve.  Cotse, the place I use provides *nothing*
other than the virtual machine and a (virtual) wire to it.  Any security
is your responsibility.  That's the downside.  The upside is that you
have absolute freedom to do whatever you want within the confines of
your machine.
