    There is a bug in the remote proxy server admin part of Winroute 3.04g.
    I have tested it on an earlier release (3.04a), and that is also
    vulnerable.
    
    When you first access the admin proxy server, it asks for a username and
    password to authenticate to. If you hit 'cancel', one frame will come
    back as not containing any data, but the other frame will still give you
    all the buttons that you need to configure the software - giving you
    full access.
    
    This is a semisortakindaserious bug, as anyone using Winroute can be
    disconnected from the Internet by anyone else in the world, as they can
    authenticate to the admin proxy server without a user name and password.
