More reasons to have someone talk about WireGuard!

May be we should have it as admin commandments, thou shall put all 
inner-cluster traffic into VPN.

This reminds me of "don't put IPMI/BMC on the Internet" story of 10

zoom out, it is a story about cluster-controlling traffic. (reminder, 
IPMI == physical access === root).
