Yesterday I found this in my log:

This 189.38.80.51 maps back to kamotini.kinghost.net but is also the address for blog.jorgepereira.com.br, which is listed in /usr/share/vino/webservices.

Guys & girls, this is unacceptable. vino must not contact any random webservices w/o asking the user first. No matter how trusted these webservices are supposed to be or that "no sensitive information will be transferred". Please reconsider and disable these "services" ASAP until a viable solution is found to let "NetworkManager know if an _incoming_ port is open or not".

Thanks,
C.
