"If" is a good word. The setting above is usually being used in environments where network security is a bit paranoid, so shell access won't help against lack of a hole through the firewall somewhere in-between, unless there's a way to use avian carriers.
The thread we are in is talking specifically about using cli tools on a remote machine, so that’s why I mentioned it. If you have that you don’t need a hole in the firewall.
