For added flexibility, add the ability to "synch" your conveyor to a field. This allows even port facilities to be shielded, and also makes for a new risks like people stealing synch codes.
You'd probably see a dual-system approach emerge in that case. Places like major cities and the like would not have synch codes, they'd be generically blocked. You'd have synch codes for your own parachronics ports, but you'd put those well outside the major protected population centers against the possibility of stolen codes and nukes. That way, even if they slip a 1-megaton nuke into your jump center, they just get the center and some surrounding empty land.

And hey, now Vanish settings have been explained. They're worldlines that put up global shield nets.
Another possibility: 'sticky' timelines which allow you to enter easily, along the lines of the old Ravenloft, but won't let you leave or communicate out once you arrive.
