## Redpill in an alien environment

It is possible to run a Redpill system at a host organisation not using (and
with no interest in) the Redpill concept. The system usually need _not_ submit
to a strict foreign policy.

You need from the ICT staff of your host organisation...:

 * A single static public IP number with port 22 open inbound and standard
   ports open outbound (or ideally fully open)
 * Space for a single standard-sized computer (or preferrably 2)
