Working from home… When I connect VPN to the office to transfer some files… stone+wire seems to be snooping around through that tunnel to look for other wire machines. It’s slowing down my file transfers. Is there any way to stop this without literally stopping stone+wire?

Have a side mac that you use for VPN access.  
Restrict your VPN rules to only certain ports.
