VPN Personal F/W Question
----------
Background:
Cisco 3000
series VPN
No split
tunneling allowed
Zone
Alarm or Black Ice
personal F/W
I
thought that a personal
firewall protects the VPN
client from intruders
during a VPN connection.
But I was told the
following: "VPN
implementation restricts
communication to devices
other than the computer
itself and company's
network for the duration
of the VPN
connection."
I
thought that the client
can still communicate on
other open ports during a
VPN session. Basically, a
hacker can still make
attempts to access the
client on other ports
during a VPN
session.
What is
correct? (Thank you.) |
