It means that anyone, anywhere (that you haven't blocked) could make all
connections to you using encrytion.  Basically, the key is kept on a DNS
server (unfortunately, it's in the reverse DNS files, the ones you can
least likely affect) -- I am an ISP and can't get my upstream to
delegate reverse on all my blocks to me, so what's the average
organization going to do?

FreeS/WAN's ultimate goal was a 100% encrypted internet.  But since
security is job 937865378629 and steadily dropping in priority, they
were doomed to failure.
