The lite version is sufficient for my purposes. It is never open to the public,
only to a few select (and trusted) people for short periods. My firewall
(AtGuard) is sufficient to restrict access to only those users and only when the
proper rules are enabled. I am comfortable with my security. Your mention of the
Allow/Block feature in IIS just caught my attention.
