Just a quick note to say that my Gbridge connection looks like it is going to be blighted by unsolicited idiots wanting to establish a connection with me, just in the way Skype is partly open to these idiots asking if you would "like to see my picture" etc.
In Skype, you can lock down to only accept incoming chat and calls from people already in your address book. Can we do the same in Gbridge (i.e. can you build this feature)? If not, I can see trouble ahead!!
Otherwise, this looks like a great application. For the first time I can VNC into my Vista box (unable to do this using UltimateVNC no matter how I twiddle with my firewall settings etc.). Nice.
Cheers
Julian

It should be impossible for someone that not in your friend allowed-list to establish a VPN connection with you. The kind of attemp is failed at very beginning and you should not be able see it at all.

On the other hand, it is possible that some one spam you by keep sending you invitation, i.e. "want to be your friend".

You are talking about the second case, right? We will add a knob just as you suggested.

I just wanted to say Gbridge works AMAZING.

I havent had this problem but i think the origanal poster looks like he is saying that it could be. I dont think it has happened to him just yet.

And again thanks for Gbridge!
