That should never be a consideration when you think about it. Most of
the attacks on systems come from INSIDE the network.
I have had systems across a VPN between tribal networks that were not
allowed to communicate except a single machine on one side to a single
machine on the other and we had rules in the VPN to control the traffic
between those machines. There are lots of reasons for rules inside a
tunnel but usually a tunnel is just between a single machine and some
other device. In my case I had two VPN boxes connecting to networks...
