Another thought... I still have to punch a hole in my firewall and forward some ports to the "plug", right? The product I'd like to see is a managed consumer-targeted router device. It would be a wireless access point, firewall, and home server all rolled into one. You'd buy the box and then pay a monthly fee for management. The software would upgrade itself so you wouldn't have to worry about manually patching security holes. The configuration would be easy to use and contain lots of templates like, "I want Skype to work well on these machines, so open up these ports" Oh, and you can plug in a bunch of external hard drives and serve up their contents via all sorts of protocols. Perhaps this exists and I'm entirely unaware?
