Client Firewall Requirements

Client Firewall Requirements

The Client FW Parameters tab, as shown in Figure 14-25, is used to configure firewall parameters for VPN Clients running Microsoft Windows. The features are currently unavailable for hardware clients or other non-Windows software clients. If the Firewall Required option is selected, the client won’t be allowed to connect to the protected network without meeting the defined requirements. The firewall feature protects the user PC and, thereby, the corporate network, from intrusions originating from the Internet or the user LAN.
