Sorry I just arrived and not seen any of this. I've been working! Will take a closer look...

No reply because it is mountain out of molehill building.

The firewall is turned off by default, that can be easily fixed and the old firewall is still there should you want to turn it on.


10.5.1 is already being released which addresses and fixes 95% of the complaints in this article.

All in all, a non issue
