"Shutting off":  probably only unsecured Wingates causing trouble. 
(Though @Home reps would be better sources of info on that.)

When, last April 10, Dan announced the tutorial on
www.exodussystems.on.ca/~wingate , I had a quick look and tried a simple
"Find" for "security" on the main long page, and didn't see a hit. 
Didn't want to say anything at the time without a closer look.  But,
Dan, hope you correct this if needed -- be sure to tell them not to use
the default settings!  

Thanks for the effort anyway -- will study when get around to it, and
I'm sure many others will appreciate it.
