Actually they shouldn't expose their networks to a large number of untrusted
systems. The reasoning is if they are smart enough to setup a VPN surely
they know how to disable all traffic over that VPN except a ping request and
response.

The purpose of creating this VPN isn't to share data or combine massive
private networks. It's to just demonstrate connecting a large number of
nodes together in one VPN.
