Does anyone know about the security involved with these services?  I
assume that at the start all port 80 requests get directed to the
sign-in page.  However I also heard that DNS requests are honoured
correctly even when you are not signed in.  If this is true, I can see
'someone' writing an IP-over-DNS or IP-over-ICMP layer ...  Do you
think they route traffic with strange protocol numbers?  Anyone have
good information?

Rich.
