So Far, playing with Watchguard is a child's play. I don't get what went wrong in configuring Watchguard vpn for Tim. Watchguard website gives extensive FAQ on these technical issues. If you crawl through their website you can definitely find the solution. If you couldn't find it, You may mail me privately.

I have a Watchguard Firebox, and it makes a great firewall, unfortuantly the VPN features never seemed to work correctly for me (yes, I'm sure it was the way that I was configuring it, but I . In the end I ended up configuring a old workstation (P3 450, 256 MB of ram, and this is overkill) with OpenBSD to handle all my VPN applications. Eventually I plan on replacing my Watchguard with another OpenBSD box. Check out www.openbsd.com for more information. Tim Donahue

März 2003 21:05 An: security-basics () securityfocus com Betreff: Firewall recommendations? I am in charge of researching a firewall to replace what wecurrentlyhave. At my previous job I had used Microsoft ISA in a low-security environment, and was happy with its features, and its integration with the Windows environment there. However, at my current job, security is a much greater concern, and I have to admit, I am somewhat uneasy running a Microsoft firewall product on top of a Microsoft OS. We also had investigated Checkpoint as well as Cisco Pix, and found that for our needs, the Pix at least seemed to need _many_ separate components for the same functionality. My question is what are your experiences with using ISA from a security standpoint? Usability issues? From the Mac end? Or would we be better off pursuing the Checkpoint or the Pix solution? We also plan on implementing VPN over whatever we choose, so if you recommend something other than these, it should support at least PPTP and perhaps eventually IPSec/L2TP. We have also considered placing ISA behind a Linux (or BSD) IP Chains firewall and our perimeter network to block some of the traffic from getting to ISA. Any comments here? Thanks to everybody in advance!
