I always get the impression that when things are designed this way, you can't configure a VLAN or write a firewall rule, and so far I've never been proven wrong. :/
I doubt this from Start9, but it does usually at least mean that figuring out how to do so manually means not just reading docs for the upstream packages, but also figuring out what changes they made to smooth over it all.
This has always been my reason to avoid StartOS for running a Bitcoin node. When you're dealing with contentious forks (like we are right now) it's helpful to be able to get as low level as you want without realizing that things have all been hidden from you.
That said it depends on exactly what you're doing. Their server having a jitsi server that just works is nothing to shake a stick at. Nor is Start Tunnel making the server accessible over the Internet without any port forwarding required to the casual user.
I'm just not certain I'm their target userbase.
