SECURITY WARNING: running btsync on Linux will by default create a *publicly-accessible, unprotected* WebUI, allowing anyone on the web to create a sync folder to view and edit any of your files. to avoid this, always run btsync with a config file which sets a password on the WebUI. if you have already run btsync, run `killall btsync` to turn off the WebUI. |

A temporary workaround is to run `killall btsync` to turn off the WebUI, and then use --config with a config file that sets webui > password to a secure password. You can use `lsof -i` to verify that the WebUI is not running. |
