 * I have installed Jetpack on my new website on my local machine. The website will
   go live with a hosting service that is not WordPress.org. To learn and play I
   want to explore usage of the Jetpack plugin on my local server, but is appears
   that I must ‘connect’ to the WordPress.org site. Now as I am behind firewalls
   and stuff and my physical IP address is not static this proving to be a pain.
   Are there alternatives or have I missed the plot, ? Do I have to use the WordPress.
   org service ?

 * A lot of the Jetpack modules require a connection to a WordPress.com account 
   to be fully active. Your site consequently needs to be publicly accessible for
   you to make that connection.
 * If you want to experiment with Jetpack in a closed environment, you can enable
   jetpack’s development mode, as explained here:

 * It will allow you to use all the Jetpack modules that do not require a WordPress.
