You are correct - anybody on the Internet can connect to host 1.1.1.1, which
is backwards compared to an access list on an IOS-based device.  As for the
protocol, any IP-based protocol can be used to connect to this host.

The security implications are pretty scary doing this.  If this host is
inside your internal network, then this would be a serious security threat
as someone could take control of that box and then have their way inside
your network, depending on what services are running.  I wouldn't do this
under any circumstances.  If you post a better idea of what you want to do,
I am sure that we can help you come up with a better, more secure solution.
