[arm-allstar] Private Node Setup

[Bryan St Clair]

They can't connect unless both nodes were aware of the other.

For example your node must know the node number and ip of the one
attempting to connect.

The attempting node must know your node number and it's ip.

Assuming you are authenticating the IP of the node when a connection
attempt happens, you should be secure.

You could add the whitelist, if you are still concerned....
