I did it and I'm convinced.
I have no intention even to try something that is not open-source
nowadays. It looks nice though, but I will never trust something that
is not open-sourced...
I am posting anonymously to protect my identity.
Have to say, that being anonymous *and* posting vague accusations with
kind of strange proof links BTW all it talks about is "GWAN is not
open-source and thus it's bullshit ...".
Then it lists some security bugs in old version of GWAN that was then
hidden from downloads (and for obvious reasons if you ask me).
You are right to be suspicious of G-Wan. Regardless of the merits of the
software itself, its author is known for his aggressive propaganda of
G-Wan, including attempts to cover up serious past security
vulnerabilities.
Hm, yet I never heard about G-WAN at all until somebody brought it up in
the NG.
Have a look here to get an understanding of how far this goes:

This in fact it contains a bunch of accusations of it's own.
It's not like I should have posted all this (everybody knows better then
to trust anonymous blindly etc.) but just could not resist.
