That's absolutely correct. However we'll add options 
the server panel in future versions of WebWasher to 
allow the user to configure which computers (via 
hostname or ip) are able to connect to WebWasher 
and use it as a proxy server. Also we'll add a warning 
message when the user wants to enable the "Server" 
checkbox. (the warning message will have to be 
committed by clicking a button to enable the proxy 
functionality)
We're hoping that this is the right way to go.
