wVirtual Firewall

[Martin Nitwit <xo.martin () gmail com>]

Hello all,

Firstly thank you in advance for any input. I have been having a
question about Virtual firewall it would be nice if all you experts can
help to clear it up for me.

Say if a virtual firewall is installed on a windows computer (Bridged)
with 2 NIC, that gives 2 external (1 physical and 1 virtual) and 2
internal IP addresses.

While the IT admin can do everything to protect the virtual firewall and
whatever behind it, my question is, isn't the physical computer's
external IP open for attack?

Thanks again if you don't mind helping to clear that up.

Regards,
Martin
