I never got this problem -- do you have any info on how to duplicate it?

As to the other criticisms, it is hard to install because it doesn't have
a nice auto-installer, but I think it's easy to configure because it's
built with shell scripts and a series of tools, so you can add your own
filtering wherever you like.  But you have to learn what the tools are.
